The Communication Paradox: the more ways we invent technologies to make communication more efficient, the more it weakens our interpersonal communication ability. Besides the huge societal implications, the impact to business being felt each day. Today’s workforce is inundated with instant messaging collaboration tools. For millennials and the Gen Z recent college graduates, smartphones have been in front of their faces since middle school.The symptoms of this "quick twitch" digital DNA are consistent:1. C-suite communication failing to move organizations forward to a common objective.2. Sales teams spending more time on email and texting, vs phone or in-person calls.3. Technology teams inability to communicate complex ideas in understandable ways to non tech audiences.4. Customer Support teams concentrating on clearing the call queue and failing to assist customers with alternative or up-sold solutions.The Ganon Group works with your teams to develop their interpersonal communication and presentation techniques and abilities.
