Writing has never been more important.

We spend more than a third of each day simply composing/responding to email—and that's not all: we write plans, proposals, reports, policies, instructions. We write web pages, FAQs, social media profiles. We blog. We tweet. Some of us even yammer.

Each week seems to bring a new writing medium, with new challenges for—

  • Professionalism. No matter what the medium, employee writing represents the entire company—and has never been more on display.
  • Ability to keep pace. Writing skills, tools, and processes have become a moving target—and have never been in greater demand.
  • Ability to manage our records. We're all awash in a sea of documents, and we spend increasing amounts of time on simple tasks like record retrieval.
  • Legal exposure. Document-related risk has exploded—often because we commit to writing half-baked thoughts. Documents now play a starring role in public relations mishaps, litigation, and regulatory investigations.
