In 2 prior blogs, Communication in the age of saturation, part 1 and part 2, I attempt to outline our communication challenge to break through filters and biases people set up to manage their information overload.
In the spirit of Henry David Thoreau’s quote, what I began by reading, I must finish by acting
. I want to present a powerful display that might help in your communication assessment and planning effort:
The Conversation Prism by Brian Solis and Jesse Thomas
The Conversation Prism 1900 X 1200 [also available in other file sizes through this link for Conversation Prism].
Since money and time are both finite resources we all struggle to manage, this Conversation Prism visual may provide a strategic tool to maximize your effort. When you look at this visual representation think through:
- What vehicles do you currently us?
- Do you use current communication vehicles or options in their best context?
- What communication vehicles might provide better results?
- How might limited resources maximize your options?
Also, note the importance of feedback in communication.
My humble thanks to Brian Solis and JESS3. Please visit their site at: http://theconversationprism.com/
Of course if you can’t frame your communication to provide value, please go directly to jail and do not pass go…
