Description:
Procedures all have the same purpose: to enable a reader to complete a task. Here’s a workshop to help you accomplish that task in writing.

This one-day workshop takes participants through the step-by-step process of writing effective procedures that: (1) give instructions that enable the reader to perform a particular operation and (2) describe a process so that the intended reader understands what is done.

Topics covered include:

  • Clarifying your objectives
  • Determining the information to include
  • Organizing information logically
  • Selecting the best format
  • Using clear, direct language
  • Editing for accuracy and correctness

Target Audience:
Any writer who must explain in writing how to carry out a procedure or an operation.

We recently partnered with LSA Global to offer our Supervisors and Managers a customized and experiential management training program.

Everyone said it was by far the best management training program they had ever attended.

The content was rich and highly interactive, and the case studies were highly relevant to our unique situation.

Each participant walked away much better equipped to lead their teams.  Thank you LSA!

Since the performance management training, I have been much more focused on identifying and discussing how our actions in Engineering create value to IGT’s success.

The feedback has been very positive, the group appears to be more accountable for their actions, and victim loop reactions are less frequent.  Thank you!
