SUMMARY:Writing Effective Letters\, Scope Documents\, Reports and Proposals - Kelowna
DESCRIPTION:What are key elements of an effectively written document? What should I focus on in my letters\, bids\, proposals\, work plans\, reports\, and documentation? \nPotential clients often judge you based on whether you can clearly articulate the services you provide. Clients may skim your documents\, so you need to ensure that your content is organized and that your key points stand out. Your writing ability is important. \nThis seminar is focused on helping you to do exactly that: to write more effectively. You’ll learn to tailor your writing for your audience and purpose. You’ll apply the strategies required for effective emails\, reports\, and proposals. In addition\, you’ll also incorporate key principles for editing and revising your documents. \nWe’ll cover multiple topics\, including: \n1. Planning your scope documents \n2. Writing concisely \n3. Crafting effective emails and letters \n4. Responding to bids and proposals \n5. Structuring your reports and project documentation \nInstructor: Eric Tung is Business Communications Instructor at SFU’s Beedie School of Business\, and an English Instructor at UBC’s Extended Learning\, where he teaches business and technical writing courses. \nIn addition to teaching\, as a Principal Consultant at Prolepsis Consulting\, Eric designs and delivers customized business\, proposal\, and technical writing workshops to various organizations\, including construction\, engineering\, and consulting firms. He advises firms on their communications strategy\, and writes proposals and business plans for his clients. \nEric also specializes in business transformation and change management consulting\, where he advises firms on large-scale organizational-wide changes. Eric’s clients range from smaller consulting firms to larger organizations such as the City of Vancouver\, District of North Vancouver\, Metro Vancouver\, BC Hydro\, TELUS\, BC Pension Corporation\, BC Safety Authority\, and Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group. \nWhat previous participants said: \n“I thought I did not need to take this course at first. After today\, I have a better understanding of how to prepare my documents.” \n“I found this to be very informative.” \n“All was valuable. Makes me rethink how I write.” \n\n Register Now!
