Wharton Communication Program Using GenAI for Business Writing

Description:

Wharton Communication Program Using GenAI for Business Writing sets out how to use a generative AI assistant as a thought partner while keeping ownership of your own message. It starts from the Communication Development Strategy of audience, purpose and structure, then gives three rules: begin with your own draft, ask the assistant to suggest changes rather than make them, and decide every revision yourself.

100% Free (unlimited): Reading the full guide is free and needs no account and no university login: the strategies for keeping ownership of a message, the eight recommended uses, the closing section on authentic voice and the further-reading list with its thirteen linked articles and reports are all on the page.

How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

The page argues that the question is how to use generative AI well, not whether to use it, then gives three rules for keeping ownership of a message: start from the Communication Development Strategy, write your own first draft, and ask for suggestions rather than edits. Eight recommended uses follow, from audience analysis and objections to structure, concision and tone, with a reading list.

How to use this resource:

You can turn the eight recommended uses into a checklist for your next important message: draft it yourself, then ask the assistant to name the priorities you missed, the objections your reader will raise, the thin parts of your argument and the sentences doing too much work. Ask for three options each time and choose one, so the wording stays yours. The reading list gives the research behind each rule.
