Quality writing drives action and productivity

The Six Steps to Reader-Centered Writing help set standards for quality writing. This ensures clear, direct, and effective written communication.

• Increase quality: our innovative assessment tools show that learners double the quality of their documents.
• Increase speed: writers show a 30% to 50% gain in writing productivity—and readers estimate reading documents in half the time.
