Business Writing Skills
"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing."
- Ben Franklin
Business often requires that we communicate in writing, either on paper or electronically. Written communication has a significant impact on your organisation's brand and reputation so it is essential that business executives are trained in correct Business Writing Skills.
Good business writing includes:
Taking personal responsibility for ensuring the communication takes place.- Audience and reader focus – understanding who will be receiving the message.
- Impact analysis – how will this communication be received and acted upon.
- Accuracy and clarity.
- Cultural sensitivity – to the culture of the organisation and to national cultures.
- Timeliness – prompt and to deadline.
- Focus on value. What value will this communication deliver?
- Risk management – knowing what can go wrong and how to mitigate these risks.
- Setting high personal standards.
- Follow-up and follow-through
