Do you know what the consequences of a lack of business communication are? Imagine arriving at work 5 minutes late and discovering that there is a board meeting in progress.
You were supposed to be there, but they sent you the email a few days ago and you didn't even remember.
After entering the meeting under the reprimanding gaze of everyone in the room – and distracting a director who was speaking – you try to figure out what the topic is.
But it is lost…
Suddenly, that same director you got in the way of asks for some fantuan database information (luckily, not for you). A buzz starts to build.
Some look for the billing spreadsheet on their notebooks, while another leaves the room and says it is on his computer and will print it.
However, before he returns, someone in the room pulls out a flash drive where he believes the spreadsheet is located. The director projects it on the projector, but when the other collaborator returns with the printed spreadsheet, the data does not match.
New confusion. The director loses his patience.
You suddenly remember that the updated spreadsheet is on your computer and that you should have brought it to the meeting. But you avoid calling attention to your forgetfulness, pretending that it doesn't concern you.
Did you feel any similarity with your work environment?
So it's high time to start the digital transformation in your business and discover the best way to end the lack of communication.
In this article, we will show you what the elements of the communication process are, the main consequences of noise and failures and how you can avoid them!

What are the elements of the communication process?
The communication process involves 4 elements:
the sender: the one who passes on the message, also called the source;
the message: the idea that the sender wants to convey;
the channel: the means or vehicle that takes the idea from the sender to the receiver;
the receiver: the one who receives the message.
To be assertive in business communication, the sender must know how to transmit the message, which must be clear and objective, in addition to being sent through a channel that everyone accesses daily and that reaches the receiver in a timely manner.
