Despite the growing use of digital and social media the most common and valued communications channel for business structures is usually good old-fashioned face-to-face interaction. Whether this remains to be so in the mid to long term future remains to be seen.

The strength of face-to-face business communication, especially with an external knowledgeable and informed third party, is that it can bring with it an additive unknown factor to both a relationship and a project – wisdom and trust. We all trust the data when it is proved but the application of it into everyday business needs skill and know-how of interpretation. By integrating that understanding, enhanced by previously gained experience, its contribution considerably aids forming a strategy that manages the project and ensures a successful outcome.
