Fundamentals of Preparing a Briefing

Briefings, whether in the form of briefing notes/memoranda, longer briefing books, or oral briefings, are used to keep decision makers informed about the issues for which they are responsible.

In government, briefings are the principle means of communication between government policy staff and senior officials.

The demands of effective governance require senior officials to constantly learn and retain information about a vast range of topics and issues, which change rapidly and continuously.

The only way they can do this is to rely on concise, clear, reliable briefings.

This webcast provides you with a practical overview of preparing briefings for professionals in government and advocacy organizations.

Learn:

  • The purposes and context of briefing notes and memoranda
  • Assessing the audience’s needs and expectations
  • Basics of briefing design and format
  • Selecting information sources
  • “Distilling an ocean of data into a bottle of insight”
  • Effective use of writing time
  • Objectivity and critical thinking
  • An evaluation checklist for the final draft
