Skills only people provide still make a major difference
Article Abstract:
A benchmarking study conducted by the American Productivity and Quality Center found that firms which exhibited the best integrated marketing communications efforts were those whose people could communicate effectively with other people in all parts of the company as well as its external customers and suppliers. The study also concluded that effective marketing communications cannot be achieved merely by enforcing a formal policy or procedure. It is ironic that such non-high tech skills such as writing and speaking, which are skills only people can provide, make a major difference.
