Course Overview

This is not intended to be an English expression or a “public service duties and writing style” program, though some aspects of writing for effect will be covered. Most participants have been well-educated in academic writing, which often suits demonstrating knowledge to a supervisor but is less effective for producing committee papers and central agency approval documents.

Common issues include:

  • The argument is lost in bureaucratic detail.
  • The arguments for and against are not well presented.
  • The logic of the argument can lack structure.

A rapid approach to engaging stakeholders and representing their views diligently is needed to achieve speed from concept to contract.

We provide a process of argumentation and tools to assist in capturing and presenting stakeholders’ views, rebuttals, alternative views, and detail and opinion in a way that allows executives to form a view and make decisions.

Private and Public courses available

A one-day off-site experiential program, preceded by a short (maximum of 3 hours) online module to introduce the theory. This delivers maximum benefit for the least cost and imposition on taking staff away from their workplaces.

Private courses

  • Private courses available to uplift the capability of an entire team so that you can succeed together.
  • Presented by experienced practitioners who focus on practical learning, real case studies, and exercises, rather than just theory.
  • Delivered when you need it, anywhere in Australia.
