You know how to write a briefing note, but now you're working with tighter timelines, broader audiences, and higher expectations. That’s when the pressure builds. With so much to say and limited space, it’s easy to second-guess what to include, how to structure your message, and whether your point is clear enough.
When briefing notes fall short, it’s not just a personal challenge; it slows decisions and impacts organizational efficiency. Decision-makers don’t have time to search for meaning or sort through scattered points. If a message isn’t apparent immediately, it can lead to missed opportunities, delayed action, and reduced trust in your work.
This advanced workshop is designed to take you beyond the basics. You’ll conduct a thorough audience analysis, identify key resources that support briefing note writing, and assess the strengths and weaknesses of real examples. Through targeted exercises and collaborative review, you’ll explore what makes a note effective, strengthen its structure, and learn how to avoid common pitfalls. You’ll also practice editing for focus and clarity, helping you deliver key messages with greater confidence.
By the end of the session, you’ll be better equipped to write briefing notes that are clear, credible, and easy to act on. You’ll refine your editing skills, build a more confident writing voice, and gain tools to improve the clarity and value of every briefing note you write.
