Effective documents give you the following benefits:
- Shorter reading and learning times
- Improved accuracy of use
- Simplified content management and production
- Cost savings.
I work with clients using information analysis and long experience to produce clear writing and documents focused on the needs of users. Complex topics and documents especially benefit from such treatment.
My projects have included the research, plans, reports, tenders, promotions, presentations and other documents associated with a wide experience in management, technology, education and training. Author of many UK/USA books, including leading texts on environmental aspects of buildings. Great fiction and memoirs are kept in the bottom drawer!
I have worked in multi-national companies, training establishments, and government bodies at national level. Responsibilities have included: senior management and leadership within large organisations; technical and policy leadership; management of relationships with senior figures in business and government.I understand the pressures and needs of organisations, and am skilful at working with company individuals and teams.
Availability
I work electronically with all world time zones - clients often value having documents waiting for them first thing in their morning. Personal contact anytime within Greater Auckland, and travel as necessary.
