The Hunt For Funny Business Communication Blog
Communication lies at the heart of any business. In fact I would even go so far as to say that without communication there can be no business. It can be just like Business and Administrative Communication in many ways. A little while ago I was involved in a project where we had to redevelop part of a web site.
There is nothing more annoying than having to read a simple message with a lot of other words in the way. It would be similar to a business communications textbook many times. And unfortunately, they have also been a studier of human societies and civilizations for long enough to see the problematic nature of the flow of information.
Remember it was not long ago you were chugging along on your dial-up access on your 286 IBM Clone computer and you were quite amazed at its abilities when it first came out. You should never write as though you were having a conversation. This is not an uncommon problem in business. 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.
But that’s not all this technology will do and there will be entrepreneurs and innovators bringing you new applications for these new fantastic business communication tools, as fast as they can think them up. This simple thing is to never assume anyone knows anything. Oftentimes, it can be just like a business writing textbook. 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.
