“Communication remains the fundamental touchstone for business and education, and it always will. Over the last 20 years in particular, we have seen dramatic advancements in the ways in which we communicate, from a predominantly traditional platform, now to expanding digital environments that give customers a voice without the letters-to-the editors and telephone trees of yesteryear. But for business, communication is only half of the task; the other half is listening. Integrating communications followed by engagement is key to taking advantage of how far we’ve come, and how far we are yet to go.”
