Measurement & Methodology

Learning by doing
Learners practice our reader-centered writing process by applying it to their on-the-job documents during workshops. They learn through a lively, practical combination of

  • individual coaching
  • job-related writing practice
  • exercises and games
  • group problem solving
  • mini-lectures
  • discussions.

Tailored workshops
The instructor tailors each workshop to both the group’s and each learner’s needs based on

  • individual goals
  • common group documents
  • interviews with the workshop sponsor
  • a reader-focused process applicable to any document.

The Document Analysis and Rating Tool (DART)™
(Not introduced in short workshops.)
To truly change, learners must internalize document-quality criteria. By using the DART to know and recall what success looks like, they learn to “own” this vision of quality documents.


I tell seasoned sales people that there is only one course that they need to take: Write to the Top® . It’s a course in thinking from the customer’s point of view .
— David, Sales Manager, MCI



One-on-one coaching
The quickest way to learn is through individualized instruction. Our most popular workshops include private coaching sessions with one of our coaches—consulting editors who critique hundreds of documents each year.

Individual learning plans
To create a personal learning plan with each learner, the instructor reviews

  1. on-the-job writing samples
  2. answers to our Editing Inventory
  3. diagnostic questionnaires.

Participants leave the workshop with

  • a personal assessment of strengths and weaknesses
  • a constructive critique of writing samples
  • recommended future exercises—always job-related—based on individually diagnosed needs
  • tools for recreating their success: the DART, the Six Steps, and the Focus Sheet™.
