Communication Metrics Commercial Partners Intelligence and Communication |
Dear Morris,
Thanks for your letter on communication that inspires action. This takes more than words. A four (4) prong effort of words, pictures, experience, and credibility communicates new ideas, so people are inspired to take action.
Use your bow and arrow diagram to illustrate the goal of maintaining alignment, which is a key part of the message on adding intelligence to management. Your support builds credibility. Asking for someone to review a proposal to the National Science Foundation strengthens credibility.
Let people review SDS records to gain experience that can be associated with words in the message. For example, suggest someone compare conventional email with using the Internet to deliver...
My letter to you on July 23, 1999 was sent as conventional email to support your work practice, then it was converted to support Communication Metrics. On April 22, 1999 Dave Vannier at Intel reported this method is effective and asked "...where to take it from here?" Not everyone will agree; so, try expanding the audience.
Sincerely,
THE WELCH COMPANY
Rod Welch
