Many non-expert readers find the amount of technical detail in a requirements document overwhelming.

Faced with a series of long lists and elaborate diagrams, their eyes tend to glaze over. Consequently, they may not examine your document thoroughly enough to be able to provide you with the feedback you need.

The key to creating requirements non-experts can easily read is to think like an web designer and make usability a key factor in your writing.

In this webinar Dawn will introduce you to four simple, easy-to-implement strategies for producing user-friendly requirements:

  • Provide an overview highlighting the business goals and benefits
  • Use summary statements to introduce sections
  • Manage long bulleted lists by using parallelism and subdivisions
  • Integrate use case diagrams and other visuals so they are easy to interpret

As with web design, subtle adjustments can make a big difference to the user experience.

Working within your organization’s template for requirements, you can easily apply user-friendly writing strategies to improve your communication with colleagues as well as stakeholders.

Presenter: Dr. Dawn Henwood (LinkedIn profile) is a published author of A Writing Guide for IT Professionals, columnist, associate professor and program developer/director. She specializes in helping technical experts bridge the gap in knowledge and values that so often separates them from their customers. Her methods have even the most reluctant writers producing clear documents with ease and confidence.

Employee Engagement Is Changing!

Gone are the days of annual employee surveys with rigid follow-up cycles, frustration and little value.

It is time to redefine the most used, or misused, soft data concepts in business: employee engagement.

Engagement is transforming into an integrated measure of business operations.

On the cusp of this transformation, human resource leaders have a refreshingly new opportunity to secure the delivery of critical outcomes in close collaboration with business leaders.

In fact, the most innovative and forward-looking businesses have already embarked on this journey. And they are starting with their employees’ journey.

Based on recent research, theory, and proven use cases, Alexander Stephanou Chief Organizational Psychologist, Questback; will elaborate on and discuss how human resource departments can own this rethinking of employee engagement and use it to fundamentally transform their role from being a cost center into a strategic business partner.

Note: SHRM has pre-approved this webcast for 1 Professional Development Credits (PDCs) towards SHRM-CP℠ or SHRM-SCP℠ Certifications.

Presenter: Alexander Stephanou (LinkedIn profile) Questback’s Chief Organizational Psychologist, advises large global enterprises on utilizing feedback from employees to prevent business failures and accelerate strategy execution. Alexander holds a Master’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark with a specialization in the link between engagement and business performance. His combined experience in industry and academia, as a customer and now as a solution provider, makes him a sought-after, trusted advisor for companies.
