    Ever wonder why readers who matter most to you find your report (be it an information update, a research paper or a proposal) either too incomprehensible or too boring, or both? One weakness many writers have confessed about their writing is the lack of precision and clarity in their fact-filled tables and diagrams; and the lack of sparkle and captivation in their number-crunched charts and graphics. All these drabness in a report could change, for the fresher, if a writer is able to provide more informative yet inspiring visual aids to accompany their bland written submissions.

    Infographics is a must-have modern companion to all forms of staff writing. It does not replace specialised knowledge but enhance content by making the technical aspects more appealing. All staff officers who want to be more rounded in their report-writing will find this course a very helpful supplement to their staffwork.

    (Please note that this course is not about the use of computer software and photoshop skills.)

    Let DR SUNNY GOH, who has thrilled and skilled thousands of staff writers with his creative writing imagination inspire you with a more catchy way to painless writing. Whether you have been on the job for a year or a decade, you need to attend this course because you may not have been doing it the right way or worse, been schooled the wrong way. So even if you are keen to improve your general writing skills, you will find this course beneficial.
    Objective
    At the end of the one-day programme, participants will be able to:

    a. appreciate the place of infographics in a report.

    b. apply visual skills for different types of tables, charts and illustrations.
    Outline
    Part One on Information deals with titling of your tables and charts, including captioning and description. The aim is to increase impactful written presentation and reduce secondary data from cluttering infoboxes.

    Part Two on Graphics manages all forms of visuals such as bar charts, diagrams, graphs, flowcharts and scattergram. The aim is to use innovative means to capture and sustain interest.
    Who should attend
    Section Heads and Staff Writers who need to strengthen or brighten their approval reports with visuals. Those who need to write non-approval reports should also attend to enhance their writing skills.
    Methodology
    "I thought a good report should be evidence-based and that is all to it. Dr Sunny opened my eyes to making those data work much harder for me to convince my superiors." PUB (Mar 2017)

    "Sunny is one of the most dedicated and passionate lecturers I have come across. He is clear in his delivery and explanation, and weaves in real life examples of the concepts he teaches." IPOS (Jan 2018)

    "His depth of knowledge in this area has facilitated it to be smooth running and paced suitably for learning. He has also included examples for the ease of our learning and applicability of the concepts." LTA (Apr 2018)
    Dr. Sunny Goh's Profile
