Eight keys to effective strategy communication
In a world that is fast moving and cluttered, and where it is sometimes easy to lose sight of our distinctiveness, clarity of communication becomes ever more important.

"Communicating our strategy continuously, consistently, and constantly, is essential to reinforce our distinctiveness and what sets us apart from the crowd. And this is not just about communicating one way; it is about engaging with the people we lead."
Contributed by David Willey, December 2011.
