Implementing Plain Language as a Strategic Priority  
Meet our South African team


South Africa's Sarah Slabbert and Nadja Green of the  Plain Language Institute are developing the new Implementing Plain Language as a Strategic Priority  Advanced course (registration coming this fall; course in 2021).  They will also be offering two of the existing PLA courses via their website.  
​
Plain language actions often focus on specific documents or pieces of communication. Implementing plain language in a systematic manner in an organization is, however, a different challenge for executives, compliance officers and communication managers. The new Advanced course will empower you to make your organization truly customer- or citizen-centred.
