Get Things Done with Three Parts of Business Writing
What happens in the workplace when writers fail to clearly state what they want, why it matters, or when they need it done?
In this lesson, we’re going to take a step further and look at how to organize your writing so it gets things done. Our simple structure is called the Three-Paragraph Model. This model helps you organize your thoughts and guide your reader from what you want, to why it matters, to when it needs to be done.
Good business writing is not about sounding smart or using big words. It is about helping people take action. Every email, memo, or report should have a clear purpose, a clear explanation, and a clear deadline. In this lesson, you will learn to organize your writing into three parts so that your reader can act quickly and confidently.
