Creating Easy to Read, Professional Reports in the Digital Era.
There is nothing worse than having to read through a long and monotonous report that has been written poorly. Reports can seem complicated, confusing or long winded and the reader struggles to engage with the information. If you have to write reports as part of your role then this scenario will be something you will want to avoid at all costs.
Reports are a big part of the data and communication metrics of any business. They are used for important information summaries, or the basis for various recommendations, or even just organisational intelligence and communication.
It easy to be inundated with information traffic, particularly in the modern digital workplace. This makes it even more crucial to write reports that work simply in a digital world that assists people to get the information they need fast.
