Who we are
Salient, Inc. is the company behind Email Excellence® and The Good Documents Series. We’re writing consultants, providing to large organizations services ranging from training and eLearning design to consulting on corporate writing standards, tools, and style.
Our expertise lies in understanding:
- writing as a business process—and what it takes to re-engineer a key writing function and manage the change process;
- document-related risk—especially in industries that are heavily regulated, prone to litigation, or subject to PR mishaps;
- instructional design—how to create training with real impact;
- how to dislodge stubborn habits—the heart of any challenge related to business writing or email.
We're happy to help tackle your organization's business writing challenges. |
