Coaching and support

There are a number of ways that we can help you to get started with Information Mapping or to begin to use it in new ways.

Expanding your use of Information Mapping

If you have already learnt how to use Information Mapping, you are probably seeing the benefits of applying the method to the documents you regularly write. You are probably also noticing lots of other information that you would like to try your new skills on – but you’re not sure how to get started.

  • Call us on +44 (0)845 122 7102 to talk about how we can expand your skills.

Editing or reviewing your documents

Pacific Blue provides experts to edit or review documents. You may have written an important report, or be working on a high value bid, or about to make an important presentation. We will review your document with you and offer advice and support to ensure that it is effective as possible.

Coaching to widen your writing skills

The concepts and tools of the Information Mapping method are straightforward and easy to learn. But, when you get back to work, you may find it more difficult to apply your learning to really complex materials.

Real World Follow-up Workshops

Pacific Blue’s 1-day workshops are designed to help you apply your new skills in the real world. Our trainer will work with you and your colleagues, helping you to begin working on your own materials. We’ll answer all your questions and make sure that everyone has mastered the FS Pro software.

Trainer-in-Residence Days

Pacific Blue can provide you with a trainer for the day. Just give him or her lunch and plenty of coffee. In return, he or she will see you and each of your colleagues individually to discuss progress at using Information Mapping, give feedback on documents, and share advanced editing and writing "hints and tips."
