After all, better communication leads to better business results. Good communication is essential to business growth! It’s important to control the way information is presented. People are scared to death of the internet now. Few want to invest in it, few want to run a company that depends on it, and even fewer want to remember the “irrational exuberance” that propelled a bunch of unkempt 22-year olds who dressed like un-made beds to Wall Street stardom. The musty sector known as the “old economy” has looked good again. So let’s ask ourselves a question that would have seemed ridiculous only a few short years ago: What good is the internet? Is it worthwhile for anything but checking stocks, getting sports scores, swapping music, or tracking the weather? Is there a place for web-based businesses, or is the internet a digital money pit that ruins otherwise smart people? Many pundits have said that the internet, even in spite of its recent shakeup, is the most significant event to come along since the Industrial Revolution. Built and designed by amateurs, it is now the professionals who are coming in to tidy it up, make it usable, make it effective. These days, communicating your message via eBusiness technology and tools is fundamental to communicating effectively and maintain competitiveness. I can help you come to grips with the internet and how it impacts on your business communication strategy. Often, it impacts most upon a key group of stakeholders – your employees. I can provide you with strategies on how to change your company’s culture to embrace the changes that the internet makes to how business is done. More importantly, I can help you communicate your business messages online and service your customers better so that the new technology is a value-add to your business, not a costly waste of time!
