The purpose of this document is to help the practitioners with whom I work understand and conform to a few basic rules and guidelines for written communications. My goal is to help others avoid some of the more grievous errors that I have witnessed or committed over the past twenty-plus years.
During this time, I have learned that the style and grammar of written communications have a tremendous impact in bringing a document to life and giving it the most professional image possible. I have also learned how poor style and grammar diminish the impact of strong content and, ultimately, reduce the credibility of its creators.
At the end of this document, I have listed several publications that I have found particularly enjoyable and enlightening. These books are far more complete than I can ever hope to be in a document of this sort and you may want to consider adding them to your personal library.
This guide delves into the intricacies of effective electronic communications. It also addresses the challenges of performance reviews, offering a structured approach to evaluating and documenting employee performance, which is crucial for maintaining a high-performance culture.
The document further explores common grammatical pitfalls, the importance of formatting guidelines, and the strategic alignment of business writing. It emphasizes the significance of clarity and precision in consulting writing, ensuring that your communications not only convey the intended message but also uphold the professional standards expected in the consulting industry.
