Techniques to Elevate Your Corporate Writing
Start with a Clear Objective: Define what you want to achieve with your message.
Use the 7 Cs of Communication:
Clear: Ensure the message is easy to understand.
Concise: Avoid unnecessary words or details.
Concrete: Provide specific and relevant information.
Correct: Be accurate in content and language.
Coherent: Keep the flow logical and organized.
Complete: Cover all necessary aspects of the topic.
Courteous: Maintain a polite and respectful tone.
Format Strategically:
Use bullet points or headings for easy readability.
Align content visually with standard corporate templates when needed.
Tailor to the Audience: Use language and examples suited to your readers’ expertise and preferences.
Use Active Voice: It’s more direct and engaging than passive voice.
Example: "We completed the project ahead of schedule" is better than "The project was completed ahead of schedule."
