We know that this is a concern, as we hear it from delegates on our courses. But the answer is (probably) yes – as long as you plan and structure it carefully. Make sure you use mind mapping to plan the report. As part of this process, classify the information so that elements appear in a logical place depending on whether it’s essential for all or only some of your readers.Different readers are likely to want different things from the document. Some will be ‘helicopter’ readers who want to swoop in, grab the key messages and swoop out again. Others will be detail-focused people who’ll want to know everything they possibly can about the subject. So having clear signposting (like descriptive subheadings) will be especially important in documents with multiple audiences.
