(11.47)Highlights“Who are the audiences within your organisation that would benefit from seeing more customer and market insight? There are probably many, ranging from the boardroom to operations and customer-facing roles. We’re really interested in anyone who is in position to make decisions that affect how our company’s products and services are designed, promoted and delivered.” “Although most communication plans quite rightly start with the audience, there’s also merit in sometimes starting with our content. If we’ve just delivered great insights to one part of the company, are there now others that could benefit from the same content?”“How can we deliver different types of message to different audiences? Can we move away from PowerPoint, Excel and Word, and think about video, animation, intranet portals, competitions, postcards, posters, physical objects, town hall meetings or brown bag lunches?”This is episode 23 of the Transforming Insight podcast.
