From the idea to the concept

In this seminar, I will show you methods and practical tips that will make writing easier for you.

What is it about

Writing about concepts

Writing a concept can be very laborious. How much time do you sometimes spend sitting in front of a blank page, pondering and going round in circles because you can't find the beginning? Do you also think that you simply can't write and that any other form of presentation would work better for you? In this seminar, I will show you approaches that will make writing easier and enable you to find your own way. The aim is to formulate a framework for writing, expand your understanding of what a concept can be and what it must be able to do, sharpen your awareness of essential aspects and describe a few practical points of reference for writing. Together we will look at what makes a coherent concept, who it is aimed at and what it needs to convince others. Since writing is a very individual process and every project has a different focus, the main thing is to define the task you are facing precisely and to draw a few pragmatic conclusions from it so that you can find your own way of writing.
