Writing exceptional board reports
Your board steers your organisation – and their crucial decisions depend on the information and recommendations you and your team supply in your board reports.
Overview
Your board steers your organisation – and they make crucial decisions based on information and recommendations you and your team supply in a board report.
If your team’s reports are poorly written, lack clear structure and bury key messages or recommendations, there’s a real risk that their time and hard work will go to waste. The board won’t act on information they haven’t read or understood.
This course will give anyone writing or contributing to board reports the techniques they need to make sure this doesn’t happen. We’ll tailor the training materials using real examples from your organisation, which means you can be confident the training will be targeted and relevant.
Outcomes
By the end of the training, attendees will be able to:
- profile your board of directors and identify what information is crucial to the report – and what to leave out
- build a logical structure to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly
- write executive summaries that get their key message or case across – even if board members read no further
- present technical information, data and assessments of risk so they’re meaningful for all readers
- create consistent documents, even with multiple contributors
- use correct grammar and punctuation to avoid any embarrassing mistakes
- write in your organisation’s tone of voice.
A key feature of this course is that all attendees receive our unique pre-course writing analysis. This covers 15 different areas of writing skills and helps us ensure the training meets attendees’ precise writing needs, while allowing for rapid, targeted improvements.
