Share your information

Collecting information is insufficient to spark a sense of urgency. Therefore, it is vital to share the information.

  • Tell a compelling story. Dry facts may appeal to the mind but are not enough to appeal to the hearts of the people in your organisation. A good way to spread outside information is with the power of video and storytelling.
  • The visuals your employees see can produce a certain message. Ensure you create a message of outside awareness and urgency. Show your position within the market, what your competition is doing, and the progress of your ongoing projects.

"An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest." - Benjamin Franklin
