Few things done in the daily course of business have as profound an effect on a person's career as the memos and reports he or she writes.  This is especially true in the field of systems and information technology where frequently management's only insight into the quality of the work we are doing is through our written communications.  We are known by what we write regardless of whether the words are transmitted by mail, FAX, or E-mail. 

Effective writing is more than grammar, spelling, and punctuation; it is the ability to communicate on paper with a minimum of words and a maximum of comprehension.  It is a basic skill that identifies the effective business manager and leader. 

Participants in this skill-building session will learn how to write reports, proposals, and memos that will be read, understood, and acted upon.  They will learn how to organize and present complex IT subjects in order not to confuse or discourage the reader.  They will learn how to avoid poor grammar and erroneous punctuation and have their writing make a good impression. 

The specific examples, analyzed and dissected by the group, will make abundantly clear the difference between effective and ineffective writing.  This seminar will benefit every IT professional who needs to communicate clearly, briefly … and forcefully. 

This seminar is intended for systems analysts, project leaders, programmers, and other IT personnel who must write as part of their daily activities.  It is also appropriate for project-oriented non-IT people such as auditors, engineers, accountants, and other administrators.
