Training case study
Demos – writing training
Britain’s leading think-tank did a lot of writing.
In fact, too much writing.
Demos’s thinkers and researchers were very good at writing long, detailed reports on complex issues. When it came to writing succinctly, they struggled a bit.
ProseWorks was therefore called in to train its communications team to sum things up briefly, and use simple and engaging language to convey the complexities of their work.
The point of the course was not to re-teach trainees how to write, rather to look at their writing from different perspectives and to alter their writing performance and behaviour.
Our trainer put together a bespoke training schedule that helped the Demos team revisit the building-blocks of good writing.
Interactive exercises were used to transpose these skills onto and into the everyday writing challenges that they faced.
Working individually and in groups, trainees explored how to use creative techniques to open up dry and inaccessible writing, and to make their writing simpler and more direct.
Structure, headlining and maintaining a consistent style were also covered.
