What About Exciting Business Communications August 27, 2010 at 4:20 pm
Searching For Delicious Business Communications
Communication lies at the heart of any business. This is rubbish. The folks who have the information do not even trust themselves with the communications in business they have because it’s too easy to make a mistake. To compound the problem both parts were tending to be referred to by the same name.
Many entrepreneurs and leaders will admit that some information needs to be available on a need to know basis to prevent that information from slipping into the hands of the media, competition or enemy. There is little doubt that Contemporary Business Communication has been forever changed by the information age. As the saying goes; lose lips sink ships.
Soon, we will have super small devices that operate by voice and eventually by thought. You should be conversational (e.g. write using the kind of words you might use if you were having a conversation) but not as though you were having a conversation. There is nothing more annoying than having to read a simple message with a lot of other words in the way. Is it true that not everyone can be trusted with information? Many people would agree, some would go so far as to say that humans cannot be trusted with information, but why? Well, information is power and if you power-up those who cannot control their integrity levels or choose not to, then in a way giving them the information makes you an accessory to their actions.
Just think what this will mean for your business endeavors. There is a simple thing that can be done to improve any businesses communications and yet few businesses ever pay any attention to it. But, what will these new Business and Administrative Communication be? This did not mean believing they were stupid (something business people often wrongly assume about those who read their communications) but that they just knew nothing about what I was trying to get across.
