Comment on Cooperative Communication: Digital versus Voice by ellendnaylor

Vicki: “It all comes down to getting the right message to the right audience at the right time in the right way.” That is the challenge in life. If one of those is off, then you’re off. There are too many ways to communicate today, which results in too much noise, since people are struggling to get their message out, but aren’t sure where their audience is. Never mind the other 3 factors; right message, right audience, right time. Good for you.

I completely agree with the need to find out people’s preferred communications methods. Frankly, it shows respect – for them AND for their time. I’m working on something right now with regard to audience segmenation where this topic is key. It all comes down to getting the right message to the right audience at the right time in the right way. No small feat!

Comment on Why Business Researchers Should Be Skeptical by monica nixon

Good article for folks doing secondary research (tactical CI) not Strategic Intel -ie providing SEWS/HUMINT to enable proactive planning.

With that in mind, most Strategic intelligence folks have been trained to recognize propaganda (and oh boy it’s deep right now); and to always consider why a,b or c have a vested interest in putting forth a particular point of view. This of course necessitates understanding the opposing point of view thoroughly as well for requisite comparison and contrast.

The problem with that today since the grand failure of financialization and bailout after bailout is oft deciphering the interconnected, convoluted web of interests (ie; bizarre holding company structures, disguised contributions or funding/subsidies, behind the scenes backdoor arrangements, etc) and how all this is resulting in favorable policy and unfair advantage for some industries and players.

Good point, Barb. We are often so intent on getting good information from others that we forget when someone is querying us, just as purposefully.

Also, provides insights for recognizing when these techniques might be being used on yourself.
