In survey after survey, frustrated employers voice the same complaint. Most Americans, regardless of their level of education, have a hard time turning good ideas into good writing. In the Age of the Internet, the world runs on information that's easy to understand and gets things done. If you can't translate an idea into a good sentence, it isn't worth a nickel.
A few years ago, an article in Fortune magazine noted that, because of long-standing weaknesses in our educational system, most professionals in the workforce are deficient in “skills such as writing.” Referring to “the many sins of high schools and colleges,” the article pointed out that even college graduates often lack the ability to “persuade others of their opinions and to write concise explanations.”
More recently, a New York Times article echoed that concern, pointing to “the large numbers of college graduates who lack what should be basic skills in writing, problem solving and analytical thinking . . .”
For most people, the process of turning thoughts into writing is the frustrating part of the job, not the fun part of the job. In the free Think Write workshop, your staff will learn a series of fundamental techniques used by top professionals in America's publishing industry to solve communication problems — techniques they don’t teach you in high school or college.
