SUCCESS – IBCS® Training November 25, 2019
Successful business communication is based on binding rules. Creativity is not what is required here, neither in verbal expression nor in visual design. Instead, it is a matter of consistent standardization and reduction to the essential, namely adhering to the seven areas of standardization in HICHERT®SUCCESS:
- SAY: Convey a message
- UNIFY: Apply notation standards
- CONDENSE: Increase information density
- CHECK: Ensure visual integrity
- EXPRESS: Choose proper visualization
- SIMPLIFY: Avoid clutter
- STRUCTURE: Organize content
You will find extensive information and many examples of how this works in practice at www.ibcs.com.
Why attend?
Attending this training will help you significantly improve your reporting:
Quality: Improved reporting quality standards means reports and presentations that are much easier to understand, that deliver clearer information, and ultimately lead to better decisions.
Reaction time: Reduced reaction times add value to the overall decision-making process. The delivery time of new reports and presentations will be shorter, business analysts can answer questions more quickly, and executives can take decisions faster and drive action.
Cost: Standardised, reusable report templates save time and cost for analysts and administrators.
Training Objective
The main objective of the training is to present universal design standards for (written) reports and (verbal) presentations that will help participants report and present more effectively. The intent of both forms of communication is to impart knowledge. This exchange of information is most successful when the current concerns of the audience are clearly and succinctly addressed.
This training focusses on the presentation of information, not the content, as it is assumed that participants are already familiar with their content. There will be numerous before-and-after examples taken from actual practice.
