First off all you have to prepare yourself. Any time you plan to write a report you have to do a good research and find out about the subject as much as you can. Once you get prepared you can start with interviewing your interlocutor. The main tips to do it well are:

1. Ability to listen the person you talking with (hugely important!)

2. Respect the person you interviewing (to get their trust- don't try to be cleverer)

3. Ask the right questions (right question= desirable answer)- right question sounds probably very subjective but it's vital to create your question in a way that let you to pull out what you want from your interlocutor.

4. Don't stick rigidly to your draft (if conversation starts going into different direction- pick it up and adjust yourself as often you can get sth more valuable from a side conversation!) Try to get opinion from varied sources to avoid being subjective. Your role is to get a picture of idea you reporting not to judge people or situation. Hope it helps:-)

I think read on the subject and you can also try to find online courses on the topic. It depends to an extent on the audience; if they want to see the full story or only the highlights. However, it is always important to learn how to write effective summaries because reporting to a large extent depends on giving the reader the most important points in an organized, shortened format.

The best way to acquire this specialty is to study the army's way of "writing an appreciation of a situation".
This method in fact dissects the issue to the hilt and guides you all along.
Then another factor is to edit the report in such a manner that it should not exceed more than two pages
