Communication lies at the heart of any business. As a draughtsman I quickly had to learn that you must assume the person who was looking at your drawing knew nothing. It is important for all companies, and organizations to do communication audits to insure the right communications in business is being passed on. To compound the problem both parts were tending to be referred to by the same name.

Many entrepreneurs and leaders will admit that some information needs to be available on a need to know basis to prevent that information from slipping into the hands of the media, competition or enemy. Thus, the information just like Contemporary Business Communication. But, like water it does flow, information, like living organisms want to be free.

The future of communication will show us more of the same, just as “The Road Ahead” predicted over a decade ago. When you have a conversation it usually means that part of the message is assumed. So use few words but don’t assume that the other person knows what you are talking about. For instance, many folks have a lot of knowledge, experience, observations, insight and original thoughts.

You will be able to see a miniature of whoever you are talking too, watch the body language and get a much better feel for the conversation. In fact I would even go so far as to say that without communication there can be no business. There will be light-speed Business and Administrative Communication around the globe using satellites and what we might perceive as infinite bandwidth. If it is true that experts are people who have made lots of mistakes then I am a super expert.
