商品描述
Most people dread writing reports; they also dread reading reports. What they don't realize is that the techniques that make writing more readable make it more powerful. This is especially relevant for professionals in areas such as audit, risk, compliance, and information security.
This small volume provides the tools and techniques needed to improve reports. It does so through addressing crucial concepts all too often overlooked in the familiar rush to perform tasks, complete projects, and meet deadlines.
These concepts - the role of culture in communication; the link between logic and language; the importance of organizing thoughts before writing; and how to achieve clarity - may seem academic or theoretical. They're not. Unless writers understand their own thoughts, actions, and objectives, they cannot hope to communicate them at all - let alone clearly.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
大多數人都害怕撰寫報告；他們也害怕閱讀報告。他們沒有意識到，使寫作更易讀的技術也使其更具力量。這對於審計、風險、合規和資訊安全等領域的專業人士尤其相關。
這本小冊子提供了改善報告所需的工具和技術。它通過解決在熟悉的任務執行、項目完成和截止日期壓力下經常被忽視的關鍵概念來實現這一點。
這些概念——文化在溝通中的角色；邏輯與語言之間的聯繫；在寫作之前組織思路的重要性；以及如何實現清晰——可能看起來學術或理論化。但事實並非如此。除非寫作者理解自己的思想、行動和目標，否則他們根本無法希望傳達這些內容，更不用說清晰地傳達了。
