For over 50 years, Spence & Company has offered training courses in business and technical writing that teach participants not just how to write, but how to think. Whereas most books and courses on business writing focus on dos and don’ts of English grammar, Spence & Company workshops teach participants how to use the principles of effective communication to organize their ideas.
Workshop participants learn to compose business documents and e-mail that are consistently clear and persuasive, using a unique set of templates that provide detailed guidance for identifying their key message and constructing an argument to support it. The Spence & Company approach also enables people to increase the pace at which they are able to write.
Our clients include companies and professional firms ranging in size from a few employees to the world's largest corporations.
The Spence & Company approach takes the evaluation and revision of business writing out of the realm of personal style and subjective preference. We provide objective principles that everyone can agree on and apply as the basis for effective business communication.
Individuals from diverse backgrounds, trained in numerous professions, learn a common format for organizing and presenting their ideas in writing. In this way, organizations can ensure that their professionals share a common approach to evaluating information and agreeing on decisive action.
In the Information Economy, written communication remains the principal way that organizations exchange information and create knowledge. We will never manage knowledge effectively if we are not skilled in creating it. Make sure that all your professionals are increasing your organization's knowledge capital: invest in their competence for written communication.
