Efficient communication in the digital working world - are you using your potential?
At a time when flexibility and speed are crucial to a company's success, clear and structured communication is more important than ever. It's not just about modern tools - but above all about choosing the right communication channel at the right time.
If you want to work together efficiently, you not only need good tools, but also clear rules for their use.
The right choice of channel determines success
Phone calls, video conferences, emails, chats in Microsoft Teams or face-to-face meetings - all these forms of communication have their place. But when is which channel really useful?
If the wrong communication channel is chosen, not only does efficiency suffer, but misunderstandings and loss of information can quickly occur. Especially in hybrid working models and distributed teams, it is crucial to use the available channels consciously and strategically.
With the increasing use of collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams, SharePoint or Viva Engage, new challenges arise:
- Which platform is suitable for which purpose?
- When is a short chat message enough?
- When is a face-to-face conversation or a meeting more effective?
- What information belongs in an email - and what should not?
Avoid media disruptions - with well thought-out communication processes
A common problem in digital collaboration is the so-called media discontinuity: information is distributed via different channels without clear rules on when which channel should be used.
A project starts via email, is then continued in Microsoft Teams, individual points are discussed over the phone, others only in a meeting. Without clear communication processes, gaps quickly arise - information is lost, tasks are duplicated and queries pile up.
This costs time and nerves and reduces productivity.
The solution lies in a structured communication strategy that all employees know and can apply - with clearly defined channels, responsibilities and response times.
