Business Report Writing

Workflow

1. Identify audience, decision context, report purpose, and required length.
2. Separate executive summary, context, findings, analysis, recommendations, and next steps.
3. Put the answer and recommendation early.
4. Distinguish facts, assumptions, analysis, and open questions.
5. Use tables for risks, comparisons, options, and action plans.

Style

• Write in clear business language.
• Avoid unsupported claims and inflated certainty.
• Keep recommendations actionable and tied to evidence.
