Getting the Message Across
Management Development Center
- "We're going through a major transition, and I need to make sure what is heard is what was intended."
- "I've had some great ideas that would help my team get the recognition it deserves, but they haven't been accepted. Maybe it was the way I communicated them."
- "I've started a writing project and can't find the time to finish it-I'm too busy doing what I do best."
- "I've been told I need to get published, but I'm not a writer."
- "They misunderstood what I said."
Do any of these comments sound like you or your managers? Too many great ideas are never implemented, too many accomplishments are never shared, because they're not communicated clearly, persuasively, succinctly, and consistently. And miscommunication, especially in times of rapid change, can turn potential success into debacle.
We help management get their messages across-in internal documents, speeches, articles, books and book chapters, white papers, training materials, and electronic communications. We provide:
- Professional writing collaborators: ghostwriters, co-authors, editors
- Implementation techniques to ensure that enough "right" information is communicated to all managers and employees
- Consultation on writing projects large and small
- "Translation" from management and technical jargon into concise language easily understood by diverse audiences, internal and external
- Management of employee communications to align with business strategy and values
- Communication tools that create the culture necessary for success
- Communication strategies to improve decision making at all levels
