When trying to work out if your communication is any good or not, do you wonder what is the most important measure of success?<\/p>\n

I have an unusual take on it.<\/p>\n

When it comes to important papers, my hunch is that the single most important needle to move is the amount of time you and your colleagues spend reworking them.<\/p>\n

If there is little rework, then they are fit for purpose. If there is much, it\u2019s not a good sign for anyone.<\/p>\n

That single measure may be enough. You may, however, like to dig a little deeper.<\/p>\n

This week I\u2019d like to offer the first of three measures you can use. Let me give you a preview and then dive into today\u2019s topic: Clarity.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Clarity<\/strong> \u2013 Can you glean the core messages within 30 seconds of opening a paper or presentation?<\/li>\n
  2. Quality <\/strong>\u2013 How valuable are the insights?<\/li>\n
  3. Velocity<\/strong> \u2013 How quickly can your team develop and deliver powerful insights that lead to better decisions?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Let me now dig into the first of these. Can you glean the core messages within 30 seconds of opening a paper or presentation?<\/p>\n

    This is where we ask whether the communication misses the mark. Are you \u00a0<\/p>\n
