Improving Business Writing - How to Write Communications That Are Retrieved, Read and Remembered The writing skills that are taught in school are much different than the writing skills needed for effective business communications. This video introduces a four-stage writing process that utilizes headlining, bottom lining, and chunking techniques to improve the effectiveness of project, program, and business communications. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.

Project Management: The Intentional Profession 'To be is to do.' Project managers focus on the tools, techniques and effort it takes to 'do' well and deliver the change that mission demands. But we can also choose to 'do good,' and that is what providing our skills as pro bono services to our communities is all about. Like PMs, service-oriented Non-Profit Organizations struggle to deliver community services in a resource-constrained environment. PMs have mastered the skills needed to make things happen in these environments. With the 2015 Project Management Day of Service (PMDoS), two executives organized roughly 400 PMs to assist NPOs in defining and scoping nearly 100 projects - in one day! That is intent. That is engagement. That is meaningful project management. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.
