persuasive form possible. This workshop first builds an overall strategy for communicating more effectively with senior management
and ministers. Then it establishes a core set of writing tips to enhance the impact of the written word. And finally it provides
an opportunity for participants to hone their skills in making presentations, writing a Memorandum to Cabinet,
and writing a Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement (RIAS). A major group exercise will be devoted to RIAS writing.
