Communication Barriers

Assignment 1 and 2 on Communication as Digital Choreography

For this assignment I have tried to closely observe 10 people having different areas of work in my organization. This is solely my personal observation not just for the sake of the assignment but generally over the years. They are all wonderful professionals and the school comes first for them, and there is a lot to learn from them each. I must also admit that I have listed just one or two of their most striking strengths in communication and I had a tough time finding their limitation. This is an important outcome of doing this assignment, that if your profession comes first for you, you are sincere in your work and lead from the front, thinking straight, there will seldom be any communication issues. These issues are more prominent in people who do not want to do their work sincerely and take no interest. In this presentation each person is covered in three slides, and the theme for any group of corresponding three slides has been kept the same.

Overall Limitation in CommunicationPeople are not techno savvy. They do not

have an official email account and many of them do not have a functional personal email account even. Some do not check their emails. This is a limitation we need to work upon and training the staff in these basic skills will be beneficial and save a lot of time and effort.
