Reliable, Critical And Steadfast Corporate Writing

By Serena Price


You can see that if you are going to use evidence in the professional practice and corporate writing you need to seek out the best available information for your studies and practice. You also need to focus on the general aspect of the topic you are interested in so that you do not get sidetracked with more common information and therefore fail to identify what you really need to know. You also need to be selective about what you read, see and hear and be able to recognize good quality evidence when you come across it.

Some research from one source may contradict with those of another. There is such a vast amount of information out there that, without these skills, it is hard to know what to include in your academic assignments or how to incorporate new information into to the practice. It is easy to feel overwhelmed and you may discover that you make decisions in the particular professional practice or write such assignments based on inappropriate evidence.

Some journalists may have stricter editorial quality control than others and so may offer a higher standard of information but this still needs to be checked out. The internet contains many hundreds of millions of pages of information, including everything from rigorous research to trivia and misinformation.

Useful websites are likely to be those that are produced by a recognized professional body or client group. These might contain guidelines for practice, updates on professional issues and matters of concern to client groups. You will also see blogs and professional opinions which may offer fresh and rapidly changing information.

Be sure to relate theory and practice in your findings. Invest in a good editor so that you spare time for creativity and innovation. Add a sense of humor to keep your readers interested.Present your final work in a meticulous and neat manner.

There is a need to be critical of what you read, see and hear, and you therefore need to question what you are told in practice rather than accepting what your mentor tells or shows you. If you stop to think about this, the implications are enormous. If information or advice is not critically appraised or is based on unfounded rumor, and is then passed unchallenged from one professional to another, we will not be demonstrating evidence-based practice.

So, beware of accepting information at face value from your colleagues. If you only refer to lecture notes in your assignment or use them as evidence for your practice it implies that you have not been evaluating decisively or in depth about the subject. However, even then your argument will be stronger when you develop related evidence to back up what you write. Textbooks, especially at corporate level, generally provide a springboard for further study. Some textbooks provide a basic overview of current knowledge on a particular area, especially if you are starting out in a topic. They may provide sound factual information on topics such as anatomy and physiology.

Others provide ideas, theoretical models and frameworks or opinions on a topic by leading experts. The main thing is to ensure that you have seen the most appropriate source for your purpose. This is because when you are starting to study a topic. It is usually most helpful to have an overview rather than to start by focusing on corporate writing without the necessary skills.
