Better Reviewing Techniques

Our customized writing & editing class teaches your team how to edit documents quickly and provide more valuable comments.

Workshop Details

Workshop Description

How much time and energy does your team devote to reviewing and editing? And how often is that time and energy rewarded with improved documents?  

In most organizations we’ve worked with, we often find a broken review process. The process isn’t standardized, which results in lots of wasted time spent reviewing; comments aren’t useful because they focus on “pet peeves”; and writers are frustrated because they don’t understand the comments.  

The result is typically no real improvement to documents. The good news is that your team can learn strategies to provide better feedback in less time.

Workshop Aims

Your team will learn strategies to:

  • Streamline the review process
  • Give useful feedback
  • Ensure consistency
  • Shorten review time

Frequently asked questions

What’s the format of the onsite and virtual workshops?
Our workshops are engaging, highly interactive, and completely customized! We use micro-learning techniques, in-class exercises, and collaborative breakout sessions to ensure a robust learning experience.
The onsite workshops run from two to five days, depending on the level of complexity of the documents your team writes and how much practice they need. The virtual sessions are typically 10 hours offered in two-hour segments; however, that can vary, depending on team size, team writing skill, and type of workshop.
We customize the course to focus on the types of documents your team writes and the skills they need to improve. Since all of our courses are based on readability studies, we provide your team with the latest tools and techniques to help them plan, write, and revise more effectively and efficiently.
The workshop provides multiple opportunities for participants to apply the concepts to their own writing. Practice sessions range from two to five per day in an onsite workshop and one per two-hour virtual session, depending on the workshop chosen and type of documents discussed.
We provide coaching services; we also help clients develop templates, style guides, and other types of reference documents. And we offer a communication audit, which can help you pinpoint your team’s real writing and review issues.
