Writing to Get Things Done

Effective business writing is essential to success at work. No matter what role we play, when we communicate effectively in emails, reports, proposals, or documents, we are more successful and more productive. When we write confusing or unclear communications, it seems others don’t know what to do and important information gets lost. Poor writing costs organizations time, creates frustration, leads to mistakes, and undermines productivity across teams. Research shows that 30-50% of the workday can be spent managing emails, and readers typically give any communication just three to five seconds to decide if it’s something they should read now, read later, or delete.

This comprehensive Writing to Get Things Done toolkit improves productivity by teaching how to use writing as a powerful tool for getting things done. In partnership with the BERRY Writing Group, experts on business writing, this training combines proven business writing expertise with video-based instructional design. Professionals will develop skills to write clear, easy-to-read emails, letters, memorandums, meeting minutes, procedures, trip reports, and technical reports that drive action and results. The toolkit provides a simple framework anyone can use immediately to transform their written communication effectiveness.
