Businesses deliver products and services the community wants and needs. Businesses generate wealth for owners, workers and others.
Controlling systems
Defining how the business works – its policies and procedures – allows the business to run in a more predictable way and reduces risk. It removes the need to ‘re-invent the wheel’ and leverages development so that it can be repeated.
Think-write can help by developing clear policies and procedures so that all workers know what is expected of them.
Generating revenue
Generating revenue is the most important task of any business. Without revenue the whole enterprise stops. All businesses must give this the highest priority.
Think-write can help by developing proposals, business cases and marketing collateral that clearly explains the benefits of a business’s products and services to customers.
Developing products
Businesses can only generate revenue if they have something to sell. The needs and tastes of customers changes constantly. Competitors are continually offering alternatives. Businesses must always better match their products to the needs and desires of customers, and sometimes develop products that create a need and desire.
Think-write can help by writing clear reports and proposals for new ideas to help decision makers.
Cutting costs
Cutting costs is a lower priority, but important. Finding ways to do things cheaper gives ‘fat’ to further develop products. Or it can be taken as profit by owners (for a limited time).
Think-write can help by defining requirements and specifications for automation.
Examples of work
Marketing material
The power of Testamentary Trust Wills - Frank Law
Frank Law, an innovative boutique law firm, knew that many people do not know about a Testamentary Trust Will – and the whole idea was complex to explain. But they also knew it was the best option for many clients. We worked with the Estate Planning Practice lead to develop a clear explanation of the advantages of Testamentary Trust Wills, and crafted some brief stories to make the concepts concrete.

Developing products
Business proposals for advanced cloud based computing (IAG)As one of the largest insurers in the Asia Pacific, IAG constantly update and improve their computer systems. Moving to ‘the cloud’ for software development has the potential to transform IT delivery. But, of course, it requires investment by the company. Think-write worked together with subject matter experts to clearly define the benefits of such a transformation, along with the costs of doing so. The result was a concise and compelling business case.
The Superannuation Clearing House product allows employers to pay super contributions to all funds via a simple login to the default fund’s website. It protects the default fund brand by maintaining the look, feel and user experience.
Think-write worked with subject matter experts to design the product and worked to overcome some legal issues. We also documented the requirements for off-shore product development
Policy, procedures and standards
Operating processes for virtualised IT infrastructure environments (IAG)A transformed IT delivery strategy that accesses cloud computing resources requires an enhanced operating model, defined and tested with users by Think-write
Over 6000 pages of text needed to be re-organised, reviewed and re-written to deliver revised content to users. A new information structure, along with targeted search capabilities, helped users quickly find what they needed. And when they found it, they could quickly and easily understand the information as it had been re-written using plain language principles.
All workers need to know about new safety standards, but the standards developed were long, wordy and difficult to read. Think-write developed easy to read summaries to introduce workers to the requirements in a simple and attractive way. (These summaries were awarded a ‘Bronze Serif’ for clarity in communication.

This manual detailed the injury management process required by changes to the Workplace Injury Management and Workers Compensation Act in 1998.
Each step in the process is visually set in the context of overall management of the injury so that the big picture does not get lost in the detail. A three column format is used that
- describes the step and its purpose
- explains how to complete the step
- provides additional information about the manner in which this work is done.
At the end of each process is a section titled ‘You will have performed this process well if …’ to allow workers to judge completeness and quality.
A set of standards that defines how people work within P&O Ports globally, including a section devoted to arrangements for expatriates. Standards are structured around

- supporting tools – aids for implementing procedures
