This program teaches participants how to plan, write, and revise effective reports. What makes an effective report — one that decision makers can use to choose among competing options, set policies, allocate funds, solve problems, capitalize on opportunities, and implement plans? And what happens if reports are poorly structured, biased, difficult to read, or misleading? Decision making can suffer — with potentially harmful consequences for organizations and careers. This workshop explains how to write and publish reports that improve decision making and generate results.

Participants will learn to apply the steps in the report-writing process and to convey the right information in the right way for their audiences. Participants will also learn to avoid common report-writing problems that can cloud and weaken their messages.
