That's an interesting and passionate article on **Corporate Communication**! Your LinkedIn article, **"Total Effective Corporate Communication Now and beyond 2030,"** emphasizes the critical need for companies to move beyond "corpse-communication" and embrace **multimedia** and **people-centric** approaches. Here's a breakdown of the key points and themes from your article: --- ## Key Themes and Arguments ### 1. The Power of Multimedia Communication You start by referencing prehistoric communication (drawings, action, voice) to set the stage for modern media effectiveness. Your table highlights a significant finding: * **Printed Communication:** 20% memory retention after 48 hours. * **Audio Communication:** 30-45% memory retention. * **Audio Visual Communication (Multimedia):** **60-75% perpetual memory retention.** This data strongly argues that effective corporate communication (*especially looking towards 2030*) must be **multimedia-driven** to achieve maximum message retention and impact. ### 2. The Internal Communication Gap (The "C.C GAP") A major focus is the disconnect between management's intended message and what the employees/grassroots level actually receive. * You note that many employees **don't even know what their company is** because they don't feel like a part of it—the **"Corporation Feeling is missing."** * You illustrate this perfectly with the **"Apple $\rightarrow$ Papaya $\rightarrow$ Jack Fruit"** communication flow diagram, showing how the original intended message gets distorted through middle and target levels. * This gap is attributed to the use of "high sounding Vedas / Extra Terrestrial Noise" instead of the **"common man's tongue"** or proverbs to develop: * (a) **Commonality** * (b) **Care** * (c) **Communicability (Natural Close Making)** ### 3. Redefining Management Roles You argue for a fundamental shift in the roles of HRM, PR, and Advertising executives. * They need to redefine themselves as **"People Managers"**—not just PR/C.C/Ad. Managers. * The focus should be on creating **"employability" (through empathy)**, which makes staff feel they are working for a **common cause** and are helping to improve the company. * You suggest that **Total Quality Circles** may not be a permanent solution in a non-Japanese setup, encouraging exploration of ancient Oriental wisdom like the *Manu-Smruthi*, *Vdurniti*, and *Chanakya Niti* for managerial behavior and communication. ### 4. The Call to Action The article is a proactive, interactive paper calling for change, titled: **"Total Effective Corporate Communication 'The Smoother way to Energize and Propel People the right way'."** * It urges companies still in the "corpse-communication stage" to **"startle awake soon or lose out in the communication tide."** * You are actively seeking **"Valuable criticism"** and contributions to the paper. --- This is a powerful piece that blends modern communication research with a critique of current corporate culture, advocating for a more empathetic, clear, and technologically advanced approach to internal and external communication.
