Business Communications – Language and Words Matter
Nowhere is it clearer than in politics that language matters. Indeed, we often hear about the ‘spin’ politicians follow-up with after using poorly chosen words or making a not so well thought-out statement.

There is a common misperception that being more efficient necessarily equates to being more cost effective. However, that relationship does not necessarily exist. While seemingly desirable to be more efficient, the benefits may not necessarily be cost reductions. In fact, depending on where the efficiencies are gained within a given process, higher costs may be incurred. Consequently, leaders must articulate their goals as a specific outcome to be achieved, cost reductions being one, and not simply as a desire to be more efficient.
Business performance assessments lose their value if the recommended performance improvement actions are not fully implemented. Consequently, it is not only important for executive leadership accept the recommendations; the mangers responsible for providing the time, capital, and labor to implement the actions must also buy-in. Because these managers tend to be those whose area was cited as needing improvement, their buy-in can be difficult to earn.
An effective business performance assessment program does more than simply identify performance improvement opportunities. Highly effective programs reinforce management’s commitment to and fosters a culture of continuous performance improvement among all organizational members. To achieve this, these programs must be inclusive of as a many individuals as possible throughout the assessment process; engaging personnel – from the C-Suite to the shop floor – in interviews, on assessment teams, and at the final closeout briefings.
Interpretation of cultural surveys requires application of strong statistical analysis methods and knowledge-based results aggregation. Drawing overall conclusions can be counterintuitive; requiring a fundamental understanding of how surveys extract data about the collective nature of an organization’s culture and how to interpret that data in light of the collective nature of the organization’s culture.
