How much time and energy does your team devote to reviewing and editing? And how often is that time and energy rewarded with improved documents?
In most organizations we’ve worked with, we often find a broken review process. The process isn’t standardized, which results in lots of wasted time spent reviewing; comments aren’t useful because they focus on “pet peeves”; and writers are frustrated because they don’t understand the comments.
The result is typically no real improvement to documents. The good news is that your team can learn strategies to provide better feedback in less time.
“In a recent article, Harvard Business Review identifies strong writing skills as essential across business functions and emphasizes how writing clarity supports opinion leadership and team effectiveness.”
