For best results, make sure these materials resonate with your audience. We suggest that you include a company or industry-specific content based on what you know about your audience. If your audience can relate to your content, they’ll participate, and will engage more in sessions
Use the content to instruct your audience on areas like layout, style, and tone guidelines. These aspects form part of every excellently produced technical report.
Writing and editing the report – One of the most critical skills is around the actual writing and editing of the report.
The vast amount of your audience will know how challenging this aspect can be.
Use the content, to share insights on they can create their reports.
