Johannesburg 7 & 8 March  

I have all the information needed to write a report. But what do I write and how do I structure it?

“Written reports are documents which present focused, salient content to a specific audience. Reports are often used to display the result of an experiment, investigation, or inquiry. The audience may be public or private, an individual or the public in general. Reports are used in government, business, education, science, and other fields.” - Wikipedia

When last did you hear someone getting excited about writing a report? Probably never.

Rather than two boring days of lectures on English grammar, this inter-active workshop will take you through a step-by-step process to help you fully understand the practicalities of formal business report conventions, report structure and report layout. 

The workshop will ensure that you understand the basic principles of those matters that are integral (not peripheral) to report writing, without which a report cannot be prepared, i.e.:

• the communication process, given that a formal report is a high level communication tool
• logic, reasoning and logical argument, given that the purpose of a formal report is to argue for certain action to be taken based on investigation/research carried out or observations made
• the writing process – a skill that is, sadly, increasingly problematic,  in the technological age
• Formal report conventions, structure and layout

Believe it or not, you will have some fun through interactive participation and practical exercises. Your training manual has an “Examples” section with many examples of reports, report structures and related elements that you can use after the course.
