COMMUNICATING ABOUT THE IDEAS

·         For ideas to mature you need open communication system/routes.

·         For an idea to mature /materialize you need more ideas.

·         To find out the right solution everyone should not enough details about the idea

·         State the idea clearly. Begin communication stating the purpose of idea. Explain what it means implementing that idea to organization, department, teams and individual employees.

·         Talk of the obstacles, risk and consequences of future. Inform how success leads to future growth.

·         Keep it simple. Share details but don’t overwhelm to clarity. Do not use jargon. Be positive and motivate subordinates to forge into new ground. Keep the info available in digital format for clarification.

·         Do not under communicate; it is worse than no communication. Ensure no important point is skipped. Describe workflow in detail. Discuss relevant process and procedures. Talk about support system to deal with obstacles and failures. Set goals and communicate them. Cover the HR aspect. Highlight the roles of individuals, teams and departments involved Encourage to understand each other’s perspective. Build a common terminology for communication.

·         Take ideas, for an idea to produce the desired results it has to go through small health skepticism. In the process it will be reviewed, altered and fixed. This is possible only in two way communication. Employees are humans with knowledge, experience, persona, intelligence, pride and instinct. Management should allow them to view freely.

·         Generating good ideas is first step in improving and the second step is communicating about them to generate action.
