    Writing Brilliant Reports, Proposals and Staff Papers

    "Mr Raja is an excellent trainer with a wealth of experience and knowledge." “Mr Raja is very humorous, interesting and knowledgeable.” “He is effective because he is able to make the subject simple and give many illustrations.” - course participants
     

    Writing Brilliant Reports, Proposals and Staff Papers

    There is a simple, step-by-step and systematic approach to writing brilliant reports, proposals and staff papers every time; and you’ll learn how to write them, in our course, even if you have never written a single report in your life.

    The alternative is to learn the skill by trial and error; which might take years.

    Bonus Value: We will be at your service (via email) to help you to write your reports, free of charge, within six (6) months after the course. You may also consult us, via email, on any matter regarding report writing for six (6) months after the course.
     
     The Importance of Report Writing

    As executives, few things command more respect from our bosses than our ability to write and present our thoughts systematically and persuasively, especially when we write reports, proposals or put up staff papers.

    In the army, staff officers are proudest when our bosses do not read our reports in detail; but only skim through our recommendations and say ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. This shows their confidence in our abilities to study a situation thoroughly and systematically and make accurate recommendations. Needless to say, it may take lots of brilliant reports written over many years to achieve this enviable standard.

    As executives, with our goal to get into ‘Management’, what separates the men from the boys (ladies, please pardon the expression, I mean ‘the children from the adults’ of course), is the ability to write excellent reports and papers.

     
     What you learn:

    In my 2-day course, I am going to cover everything important I learned and used about report writing, from my 10 years service as a staff officer in the army and more than 16 years as a trainer in Business Communication.

    I am convinced that nowhere else, other than the SAF, do we write so many reports. It is just part of the culture that even junior officers have to learn to ‘put up papers’. As a result we become ‘experts’.

    I will cover the following in enough detail; so that you do not ever have to attend another course on the subject:

     
  •  
    		•  Formats for writing different types of reports
  •  
    		•  Language for Report Writing
  •  
    		•  Writing Concept Papers
  •  
    		•  Writing Progress Reports
  •  
    		•  Writing Investigative Reports
  •  
    		•  Writing Proposals
  •  
    		•  Writing Staff Papers
     
    Everything you learn in the course will be applicable, perhaps with a little adaptation, to any working environment.
     
    How you learn:
       
    I will guide you step by step on how to write the different types of reports. By the end of the course, you would have written at least:
       
  •  
    		•  One Investigative Report – preferably on a ‘real’ situation related to your work.
       
  •  
    		•  One Proposal – preferably on a ‘real’ situation related to your work.
       
  •  
    		•  One Staff Paper - preferably a ‘real’ paper for your company that you are working on, or will be working on, or would like to work on.
     
    Relax! Even if you walk in as a beginner, you will walk out as an expert.
     
     Who should attend:
  •  
    		•  Any executive or anyone who intends to be an executive or who wants to rise to Management one day
  •  
    		•  Anyone already in Management, but who finds it a struggle to write reports, proposals and staff papers
  •  
    		•  Anyone who just wants to add one more skill to his or her resume
       
     What our participants say:

    “Mr Raja is very humorous, interesting and knowledgeable.”

    "Mr Raja is an excellent trainer with a wealth of experience and knowledge."

    "Mr Raja is very knowledgeable on the subject."

    “I learnt a lot from his experiences."

    “He is able to engage the participants and keep the class interested.”
