Advanced workshop 2 | More Effective Impact Assessment: Tools for stronger argument and clearer writing


These advanced workshops will offer "more tools" for argument and writing for people who have attended the introductory workshops in 2019 or 2020. Under current circumstances, they are all being held online.

The topics that will be discussed will include:

  • A brief review of fundamental principles of organised reasoning
  • Case studies using organised reasoning in an Australian context, including discussion and lessons learnt
  • A practice exercise redrafting an executive summary
  • Identifying and avoiding common errors of reasoning, called "fallacies", that have a surface credibility
  • Editing and restructuring a draft outline to better support a complex argument


The workshop will be held as two x 3-hour online sessions. They are not webinars, but include a variety of presentations, interactive discussions, small group break out activities and breaks to ensure you remain fresh and attentive!

Participation is limited to 16 participants per workshop to enhance interaction.

This workshop will be run on 23 & 30 July from 12:00pm - 3:00pm Australian Eastern Standard Time.
