[A book a 15-year LG Group team leader keeps close at hand] I’ve worked at LG Group for 15 years. I’ve also had a range of experience, including at a mid-sized company and as a startup CMO, but I’ve learned firsthand at a large company like LG how important report writing is to working life. A company communicates through documents, after all. No matter how well you speak, things ultimately end up in a report, approval request, or some other document. I think it’s fair to say an employee’s

Published by Hanbit Media, Report Revolution is a comprehensive guide to report-writing methods that modern office workers need to know. Drawing on insights shared by 20 team leaders at leading Korean and international companies, including Samsung, Google, Naver, and Musinsa, it systematically organizes report-writing methods that are useful in real work. It presents the common reporting principles called 3SMART and the B2WHEN report formula, offering a structured approach that can be applied

Reporting? If you succeed, it is a revolution! If you fail, it is experience, right? Communication is hard—a lifelong challenge. It varies subtly by relationship, and the right way to communicate changes with the circumstances. Is there an answer? There is no clear-cut one; every situation differs, so there is no magic solution. One especially difficult form of communication is “reporting.” It is no exaggeration to say that a company begins and ends with reports. Will someone kindly teach you

I think everyone has at some point worried about how to communicate their ideas in a report, struggled to show their achievements because of weak reporting skills, or wondered whether anyone else could understand what they wrote. The book includes reporting insights from 20 team leaders at leading companies in Korea and abroad, guidance on using the report formula, and practical sample reports written with it. I was most impressed by the six steps of the B2WHEN report-writing formula. Showing

I think this is the easiest and clearest book—and workbook—on how to write reports!

This book is the real thing—exactly as its title promises! While reading, I thought, “This may become one of my life-changing books.” After finishing, I could only write that I regretted not having enough expressive ability to absorb and convey all the author’s vast knowledge and writing skill. The author says numbers are objective and efficient because they require no separate explanation, but this book cannot be captured in numbers or a graph. It is the real thing! You do not need to read

People say office life begins and ends with reports. They take up a large and important part of work, yet writing them well is not easy for anyone—indeed, it is very difficult. A report is simply a document describing what I have accomplished or planning what I will do, so why does it feel so difficult? We cannot spend too much time writing reports. They are only a means of expressing work results; a well-written report does not necessarily mean the work itself was successful. Still, a bad

There are things that matter at work but no one teaches you. Planning and reporting seem to be among them. How difficult it is to be expected to figure it out with good instincts! These days we can get information from YouTube, blogs, and books, but in the past it was something only time could solve. Even with time, without fundamental feedback, you may remain at the same level and keep producing mediocre reports. Report Revolution systematically, practically, deeply, and usefully teaches the

This time I read a book in a field I usually avoid. The title, Report Revolution, says it all: it is about writing reports well. Reports feel especially important in working life in Korea. I handled ERP work for several years, so I rarely had to write reports myself. I only prepared standardized test-result reports, and after a certain point I hardly needed to write even those. Returning to a support department meant adjusting to a very different environment, and reports were one of the
