WRITING NEW DOCUMENTS
Do you know who your intended readers are? Do
you know how they learn and process new information?
If not, your written message will likely miss
the mark. Whether you are writing a report for
your boss or teacher, or creating a marketing
piece for the general population, you need to
recognize the various strengths and weaknesses
of your readers.
Example:
Are your readers linear or global thinkers?
This is important since a linear-oriented report
(i.e. information presented sequentially or
chronologically using many details) will cause
strong global thinkers to struggle. Because
global thinkers are generally more interested
in concepts and the "big picture" they will
quickly become bored with a document that is
very process-oriented. In short, their concentration
will wane and they will frequently skip over
key components of your written presentation
in search of the information that is important
to them. In the end, they will consider your
report to be poorly written and difficult to
read, regardless of the quality of your content.
What if you are writing for a general population,
how can you know which style will be the most
effective? In this case, you need to carefully
incorporate both styles into your copy. Your
introductory paragraph, for instance, should
outline the information to be presented and
describe the overall objective of the material
to appease the linear and global thinker. As
the readers progress through the document there
should always be a clear structure to the information
for the linear thinkers while frequently explaining
how each detail fits within the material's objective
to keep the interest of the global thinkers.
The added benefit to this approach is that your
readers will comprehend and retain more information
since they will be receiving the information
in a style that conforms to their personal way
of thinking.

Writing New Documents
Do you have the "blank sheet blues?" In other
words, do you have a good idea of what you want
to communicate, or at least what you would like
to accomplish, but are having difficulty getting
the writing started? We can help you develop
the proper structure, style, and organization
to get the ink flowing (or keyboard clicking).
