Reports and Proposals



Does your staff know how to write winning proposals? Do their reports draw easy-to-understand conclusions and support them logically?

Whether your staff is presenting the results of a research study, describing a process or procedure, recommending a course of action, or providing facts to support a request—they need to write clearly so that readers understand each and every point. This one and a half-day workshop provides practical techniques and ideas that can be used immediately to write clear and effective reports and proposals.

Our Approach:

  • To ensure that our training meets the participants’ needs, we customize the curriculum after assessing writing samples and reviewing objectives.
  • During training, we encourage active participation through discussion and practice.
  • Participants apply concepts and techniques by evaluating, editing, planning and drafting job-related documents with one-to-one feedback from the instructor.
  • Depending on the needs of your group, participants will learn how to:
    • Determine the most important question the report needs to answer
    • Develop a report design.
    • Develop section outlines.
    • Draft the report.
    • Develop useful lists, charts, graphs, and visuals.
    • Use language that communications clearly.
    • Incorporate different writing styles into a single document
