Communication lies at the heart of any business. You should never write as though you were having a conversation. Today, the world is more concerned about Business Communication: Process and Product than it ever has been before. I had assumed from the beginning that we were working on one part of the site (the part I thought needed the most work) but the person employing me thought it was another part of the site.
Indeed, this can be a catch-22. But what will become of a new business writing professor?
It's time to start planning ahead for your business communication future. When so much of communication is usually down to visual clues in a conversation when those visual clues are not available communication becomes much harder. Indeed, this can be a catch-22. 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. There is a simple thing that can be done to improve any businesses communications and yet few businesses ever pay any attention to it. The right instructor of business writing can make a tremendous difference in the interpretation of information. Believe me if it is possible to misunderstand something then people will.
