What does poor writing cost your organisation?

Training that addresses what matters.

​Business writing is only valuable when people understand it, trust it, and know what to do next.

But too often, reports become too long. Recommendations sound cautious or vague. Important risks are buried. Decision makers have to work too hard to find the point. And documents that look polished on the surface fail where it matters most: in the thinking.

Writing to Influence Decisions is a live, practical approach to helping professionals write clear, sharp, persuasive documents for readers who are busy, sceptical and often under pressure.

Whether your team writes recommendations, reports, proposals, business cases, briefing papers, risk summaries, audit findings, or internal updates, this workshop will help them move from “here is some information” to “here is the decision we need, and why it makes sense.”

Training for people whose writing has to do more than inform

This training is especially useful for people who write to:

• influence internal or external decision makers
• explain risks, issues, options, or recommendations
• persuade sceptical readers without exaggeration or emotion
• turn complex thinking into clear, usable communication
• improve the quality, speed, and credibility of business documents

It is ideal for people in risk, audit, advisory, consulting, technical, policy, professional services, sales, management, and corporate roles.

The problem is not just writing. It is thinking on the page.

Most professionals are smart, capable, and technically strong - but their writing doesn't always show it. Which of these common problems do you recognise?

• the main point appears too late
• the document contains too little background and not enough judgement
• facts, assumptions, interpretations, and recommendations are mixed together
• the reader cannot see the logic that led to the conclusion
• recommendations are vague, cautious, or hard to act on
• the writing is accurate but not persuasive
• the document takes too long to write, review, and approve
• decision makers come back with questions that the document should have answered

Writing to Influence Decisions tackles those problems at the source.

Participants get coached in how to clarify their purpose, understand the reader, structure their thinking, test their logic, and write in a way that helps others make decisions with confidence.
