The explicit business writing movement encourages businesses to adopt writing standards and train employees in the best practices that will meet the standards. Dr. Hogan speaks to employer associations, conventions, managers' meetings, and any other gathering of the managers and administrators who are in a position to influence their organizations to adopt explicit business writing standards.
In the presentation, Dr. Hogan explains what does not work in writing training and how any company or agency can have a workforce that communicates clearly in writing. You may download a copy of the white paper explaining the problems in business writing today and what must be done to remedy them. The white paper is in both an an Acrobat file and Microsoft Word file.
Dr. Hogan is committed to encouraging businesses to treat writing as infrastructure by adopting explicit business writing standards. As a result, he will speak and lead discussions for up to three hours at group meetings for free when the travel is less than 180 miles from Bloomington, Illinois. That includes cities such as Chicago, St. Louis, and Indianapolis. For other locations, he asks for only travel costs.
