20,000 gallons vs. 9 ducks – Effective Communication in Reports, On the Roof and On the Stand
This course was initially presented at the 2021 International Convention and Tradeshow.
Effective communication—both written and verbal—is essential in our industry. Often our written reports are a large product of our services, and many times the only deliverable our clients see from us. Reports must be clear, articulate, and accurate regarding the facts reported. Standards, such as the IIBEC Manual of Practice and ASTM D7186, provide guidelines for accurate reporting. We will review formatting, creative and liberal use of adverbs, providing facts, and maintaining third-party impartiality.
