Writing Technical White Papers

Course Summary

The Writing Technical White Papers training course is designed to help skilled contributors optimize the value of the papers being delivered. That means creating superior, on-message papers in less time for both writers and executives.

The course begins by leveraging hands-on exercises to help participants internalize a proven, effective, and time-saving process. This process socializes writers' ideas while soliciting constructive feedback at each major milestone. Next, participants maximize the impact of their content while eliminating time-wasting reworks. This reduces the time executives spend on under-developed ideas while maximizing the value of the feedback given to writers. The course concludes with reviewing writing white paper best practices.
