We should understand the importance of reports in the organisation's problem-solving and decision-making processes, and place corresponding emphasis in our efforts to write clear, accurate, and relevant reports.
There are various purposes for writing reports. A report could be used to present information (information report), document an investigation and its findings (investigation report), record an incident (incident report), present an analysis of a situation or event (analysis report), or propose a solution (proposal report).
The style of a report (formal or informal) generally depends on the purpose of the report, as well as its intended reader. The style and language requirements of different reports vary, and they should be carefully thought out and crafted.
After having considered the purpose and style of a report, we should consider its visual impact on the reader. This includes aspects like the use of headings, lists, illustrations, etc.
This interactive workshop takes you through the critical elements of the report writing process. This gives you the confidence to apply the skills learnt to the reports you write on the job.
