Coaching: Structured Writing
“Structured writing” is a writing method that involves using predefined elements, such as a definition, steps and a warning. This results in ‘structured content’. The principles of structured writing may seem straightforward during the training course, but the real challenge begins when you start applying them consistently in your content and documents.
In this coaching programme, our experts will guide your team. We’ll review your content, provide feedback on structure, information types, modularity and writing style, and help you with topic-oriented writing. In this way, your staff and your organisation will gradually progress towards consistent, scalable and AI-ready documentation.
