Why follow a Report Writing workshop now that there’s AI?

At first glance, AI-generated reports, presentations and emails seem amazingly well written. The English is polished. The layout looks professional. But on closer inspection – even if you are a master at prompt-engineering – AI-generated reports, presentations and emails are far from perfect. They often include random or even irrelevant content or they leave out important information. They can be repetitive and lack persuasive impact. To evaluate a report that you ask AI to write, you first need to know exactly what you wanted to say to your particular audience – and to anticipate their reaction to that.

AI can definitely help you in all stages of the writing process, but to create a professional text that will truly have an impact on your readers, you still need to invest time and effort in every stage of that process yourself. That involves a careful consideration of the reasons for reporting, what your specific readers need to know, and what the main messages are that you want to convey to them. It involves coming up with logical and persuasive arguments and structuring those in ways that will make them easily accessible for your readers and easy to follow. If asked, you will also need to be able to explain your arguments in more detail. These are precisely the things you will learn in my workshops.
