Encoding to decoding

Hello friends,

Communication is all about encoding and decoding. Are we talking about computers here ? Well yes and no.

Computers use input data ...process & produce output. Now the similarity with communication...

Always there is in communication a sender and receiver as we know.

So when you send talk you send a signal to the listener (Encoding) which he registers and reciprocates .

Let's not get too technical..

How to make communication really effective.Here's the mantra

Compact --Keep it to the point.

Concise-- Keep it brief.

Clear--- Place your ideas clearly.

Constructive---Make sure you get a favourable outcome.

Clever---Make the right use of words.

These are my 5 C's for communication.

In business communication is usually:

BtoB --Business to Business.

Bto C-- Business to Customer.

Cto C--Customer to customer.

Also:

Vertical communication -- From the employees to seniors.

Horizontal communication-- From Employees to their subordinates.

Downward communication-- From employees to juniors.

Crosswise communication ---Inter department.

In the next session more on types of communication.

Till then bye & keep talking.
