Keeping and building trust
•
Two critical elements:
•
•
Do the right thing (from their perspective)
Communicate openly, directly, truthfully
What do audiences demand?
•
•
•
Speed--I want it now. Right now.
Directness--I want it directly, personally, not through the
media.
Authenticity--I want complete openness, honesty, no
hiding, no coverup. And I want you to be real and human.
Platform: What is required?
•
•
•
•
•
•
Collaboration--a team needs to work together
24/7 Anywhere access--urgent communication does not keep
regular hours
All tools available regardless of location--infrastructure may be
gone or you may be gone
Communicator control--no dependence on technical resources
Full spectrum--able to manage push, pull and interactive
communication
Crisis-capable--redundant, millions of hits and bandwidth
