A good flow of information is essential to all businesses that succeed.

It deals with all the different methods of internal and external corporate communication available - letters, fax, email, text, WAP, internet, telephone, face-to-face, and even body language and other non-verbal signals - and shows how best to utilise them within your organisation. Best practice examples are given as well as advice for implementation via a communications audit.
