The Adverse Impact of Poor Writing on Business

An online course by T. M. Georges titled How Much Does Foggy Writing Really Cost? discusses problems resulting from ineffective written communication. Costs associated with poor writing include time wasted by both writers and readers. Employees lacking an ability to express themselves are likely to spend more time composing reports, memos and other forms of written communication. Their writing is harder to read and more likely to be a source of confusion and mistakes. Resulting secondary problems are as many and varied as business itself.

Bottom lines are more dependent than ever on information. Decisions you make are limited by available information. What do you need to know to best allocate resources, or determine optimal marketing strategies? What trends are important and are you getting all you need to know about changes affecting your business?

Writing is both a skill and an aptitude. Capabilities can be enhanced but improvement comes with time and effort. Fortunately increasing information comes with increasing access to those best able to write about it. Making writing less problematic for business is our business goal.
