Business Communication pointers

Don't use idioms and words you are unsure about. Stay within your comfort zone if vocabulary and express yourself clearly. Don't use ambiguous words, phrases or sentence structures. 

Etiquette is your image builder. Your work comes first and foremost but your self id comes a close second. Be professional and confident to look your co workers in the eyes and greet them at the start and end of each day. 

Be polite. Smartphones are a tool, an appendage. Do not treat them as excuses to avoid eye contact. Keep them on silent and check them when you step out for a tea or coffee break. Emergencies are what your co workers and seniors are there for. If it's a genuine crisis, the image you have cultivated will form the basis of the response from your colleagues.

AdBlitz (in collusion with Sunderlal)


Going Green is all about Sustainability
            Colour is a vital constituent of life. It aids us in sensing, judging, and understanding the difference among things. Shades and hues are defining characteristics for most things, especially things natural – things predominantly green (and blue, but that’s overwhelmingly large).
            If we could define our economic entities by the colours of their practices rather than the colours of their logos, what fraction of the resultant spectrum would be green? Assuming, of course, that green is the colour assigned to sustainable organizations, zero-waste systems, and environmentally viable practices.
            Our entry envisages such a world, by depicting the major causes of environmental crisis – industrialization, deforestation and profiteering. These dark shades should find ways to turn more than one shade greener.
            As the saying goes, “The best way to change is to understand the need for that change.”
·         The graphic depicts the major causes of environmental crisis – industrialisation, deforestation, and profiteering.
·         ‘Any color you want, as long as its green’ ...industrialisation, deforestation and profiteering may represent different shades of black, brown (and whatever).....are all possible if enough ‘green’ measures are undertaken to offset the effect
·         Example – people in rural areas require firewood for daily sustenance, industrialisation and urbanisation fuel the economy...create jobs....progress (and survival) willnot be curbed at the expense of ecology (a simple case of incentive)
·         The idea behind the Ad is that any and all eco friendly initiates can be successful only if they are sustainable and practical. (Take a cue from freakonomics.....its a game of incentives...donot expect organisations to go green on their own initiative... given the incentives businesses will spend time and energy doing the right thing!!)
