Subject: Progress Report for the Revision of the Module
for Business Communication
This report documents the progress of the revision of the 2018 I-Professional
Training Module for Business Communication. This report covers the period from
June 1 to July 31, 2017. The completed sections of the manual for the indicated
period focused on business correspondence and effective language style. Twelve
more weeks are needed to complete the other revisions which will focus on oral
presentation in the workplace, interpersonal communication, and visual aids.
Work Completed
During the last week of July, we have already completed the topics on business
correspondence and effective language style. Specifically, we have included a
discussion on writing an e-mail and e-mail etiquette. We decided to delete the
details on sending fax since we consider it obsolete. Regarding the activities for both
topics, we added a "Let's Practice" section after discussing each concept to make the
training more engaging. We have also expanded the list of phrases that should be
avoided when preparing business correspondences. Based on the set timeline, we
are still on track without compromising the quality of our work.
Complications
We had some problems regarding the venue of the meeting. There were three
instances when we were not able to use the meeting room because it was used by
other departments for their regular meetings. Although the problem has not caused
us any delays, we were compellted to look for another venue outside the office. This
change of venue entailed additional problem has not caused us any delays, we were
compelled to look for costs for the company.
Remaining Work
Currently, we still have three more major topics to be revised. These are on
presentation in the workplace, interpersonal communication, and visual number of
meetings from one to two every week. Although this can help aids which can be
completed within 12 weeks. We intend to increase our number of meetings from
one to two every week. Although this can help us finish the revision earlier, we might
have some problems in the schedule of the members of the committee. I, therefore,
suggest that the committee members be given a work deloading until the
completion of this project.
Conclusion
Overall, the revision of the training manual is going well. We are still on schedule; at
the same time we made some significant improvements in the training manual. With
the current progress and pace, we will be able to complete the full revision two
weeks before the deadline. If you feel that we need to further fast-track the revision,
please let me know so we can make the necessary adjustments. If you have
questions regarding the details of this task, please contact me at local 755.
