Writing is a company’s lifeblood. Ideas live in writing, ever growing and adapting. Communications endure in writing, often bearing the hardship of misunderstanding and confusion. I discussed why writing matters in the workplace in my previous essay. Now, we’re going to discuss a general nine-step framework for your (and your team’s) written communications. The written communications we consider in this essay are commonplace writing through email, workplace messengers (e.g., Slack), and texting (e.g., WhatsApp, WeChat). We’re not considering business writing for documenting thoughts, such as memos, PowerPoints, proposals, and manuals. We will discuss these other forms of business writing in future essays.
