Her basic tenet is that a lot of corporate communicators still want to control
how, when and what is communicated to customers. They’re trying to fit a square
social media peg into a round corporate communications hole, and it’s not
working. They rely on models, rules, diagrams, pie charts or PowerPoint slides
to define effective communication. And by they, I also mean me– at least a part
of the time. I admit that I sometimes tend to fit communications strategies into
my company’s current operating framework rather than challenging that framework
and looking for more effective ways of reaching customers.
