Development Writing:
Better writing for bankers starts here
The importance of development work cannot be overstated. Project managers and loan officers are often in charge of projects with substantial budgets, impacting the lives of thousands.
Part of this work includes writing loan documents for approval, project documents, and final reports. While not a core task, report writing is an unavoidable part of development work, and often adds to the workload.
SuSca Group relieves the stress of writing reports and loan documents by delivering written products that match company standards, on time, every time. SuSca Group aids with technical writing, so managers can focus on their primary responsibilities.
In addition, SuSca Group offers in-house training and coaching of technical staff, allowing teams and individuals to write more proficiently, faster.
Converting technical documents into publications and knowledge products
Distilling expert insight on complex issues
Subject matter experts are routinely asked to simplify complex technical documents into shorter, digestible reports for a broader audience – for instance, going from a 100-page technical or consultant report, to a 30-page summary for others to read.
This task is time-consuming, and often challenges a writers' skills to the limit.
SuSca Group offers solutions at crucial stages in the writing, editing, and condensing process.
In collaboration with the primary authors, as well as their development organization, SuSca Group helps ensure that teams consistently produce high-quality, readable publications with broad appeal.
Processing loans and strategy documents
From first draft to board approval in less time
Loan and strategy documents for development banks and aid organizations often face strict requirements as part of their approval process. For international teams, streamlining tone of voice and writing style can be a challenge, resulting in wasted time and turbulent processes.
SuSca provides writing and editing support for technical documents in one of three ways: (i) creating outlines and full documents, freeing up as much time and work for the organization as possible; (ii) restructuring documents mid-production, aligning content with the end goal of the document to ensure continuity and quality; and (iii) assisting with final edits and smaller adjustments to make sure the document is ready for submission.
Whichever service is needed, SuSca Group helps create a stress-free writing process, giving you and your team more time to focus on core tasks.
Writers' training, workshops, and in-house writing centers
Capacity building begins at home
Relying on external aid for document writing is not always desirable, but hiring staff for this specific task is costly. Especially when a few well-tested interventions can significantly improve baseline writing skills.
In addition to outsourcing writing tasks, in-house capacity building is a long-term option for teams and organizations looking to invest in internal resources, and elevate competencies quickly and cost-effectively.
SuSca Group offers individual writing training and group workshops for capacity building. In addition, SuSca Group can help create in-house writing centers for organizations looking to centralize their writing and documentation efforts.
As writing skills build in an organization, feedback time from start to finish significantly shortens, boosting effectiveness and overall productivity.
