Why does board reporting matter?

When reports are long, unfocused, or unclear, time in the boardroom is wasted. Report writing training helps you transform reporting from a compliance exercise into a driver of strategic decision-making.

What will you achieve?

A step change in report quality

Crisp, logical thinking and simpler communication of complex ideas.

Faster, better decisions

Key points and insights brought up front and gaps in thinking addressed.

Time saved for writers and readers

Quicker drafting, fewer rewrites and shorter board papers.

Focused board meetings

Stronger alignment between management teams and the board.

What’s covered?

Delivered by specialist consultants, our workshop introduces your team to the core principles of best practice reporting through our QDI methodology. Participants learn to:

  • Focus on what matters — put the “big picture” centre stage.
  • Think critically — use the power of questions to structure robust, logical reports.
  • Communicate clearly — write in a concise, compelling style that drives action.

The session features interactive exercises and live examples that reinforce the key principles, providing attendees with a practical framework they can immediately apply to their next paper.

How is it run?

1× 2.5-hour Report Writing Workshop.

In-person, max. 15 attendees.

Add-on options (extra fee):
