Technical Report Writing and Presentation Skills In the AI Era

About this training

Technical professionals increasingly need to translate complex findings, analysis, and recommendations for effective decision-making. Those who face challenges in getting their findings into paper and communicating it to stakeholders, will benefit from attending this training course.

This updated course covers both traditional writing and presentation techniques as well as how to incorporate generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools to enhance both efficiency and quality in writing and presenting. Participants will learn how to plan, structure, write and deliver presentations, create effective prompts for AI tools, critique AI-generated content, and edit and proofread their work, ultimately gaining the knowledge and confidence to produce high-quality documents and presentations.

This separately bookable training course will demonstrate how technical professionals can use their technical knowledge and logical edge to write in a reader-friendly style, produce grammatically accurate reports and persuasively communicate for buy-in purposes.
