Do you need to build your analytical writing skills?

IS THIS COURSE RIGHT FOR YOU?

Are you a 7/8 or 9/10 who writes ministerial submissions and briefs, executive minutes and other decision documents?

Would your work benefit if you had a stronger understanding of how rigorously analysed, evidenced-based writing informs better decision-making in the NSW public sector?

Through scenarios, case studies, exercises and discussion, you will learn how to convey evidence and analysis persuasively in correspondence with a range of audiences.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

You will leave this course with the skills to distil analysis and evidence into a short soundly argued decision document using clear writing and the NSW Government Content Style Guide.

You will learn how to structure and organise complex ideas in decision documents to ministers’ preferences.

You will finish this course knowing you can:

• use an analytical and evidence-based approach to writing.
• write accurate and clear briefs and minutes that support well-informed decision-making.
• edit documents for both substance and style to ensure they achieve their purpose and meet reader expectations.
• use the NSW Government Content Style Guide to guide their writing.
• produce quality letters, emails, briefs and other documents required at a NSW Grade 7/8 level.
