Bridging Communications

Changing Your Communication Style

I was reminded today that an organization that resists change and innovation is not going to be or stay profitable.  Successful companies can’t afford to rest on their laurels or be set in their ways.  Look at Kodak.  They made a few innovations, but it appears that most of its innovations were too little too late.  Businesses that continue to work and communicate in the same old ways are in for a shock.  Everything changes, including communication methods.  If your communications are ‘sort of’ working or not working at all, then why continue to do the same old things? 

There have been amazing changes in communication methods in the past five years.  Think -- how will it change in the next five?  What are you doing to communicate better, faster, clearer?  Organizations today need to be as lean and quick as possible.  If communications are cumbersome, tangled in ambiguity, and/ or misleading, how can an organization profitably pursue its goals?  Finding ways to detangle and simplify your communications will help define your organizational purpose, and build a bridge to better communication.
