Program Summary
With multitasking, short attention spans, and bombardment of communication from diverse channels, it is easy to mindlessly type things that need to be explained later. Legal precedents may not have been set on all the communication streams we use, but they still leave a potentially permanent record.
Having a process for formulating a complete, professional message on the fly improves defensibility and shared understanding that saves time and reputation in the long run.
Key topics to be discussed:
- Explore modern communication modalities, their idiosyncrasies, and success practices
- Practice a procedural composition technique with multiple media and scenarios
- Focus on audience, desired result, scope, approach, and content
- Edit and proofread quickly and comprehensively
