This was a PPT I put together in my Group Communications class. Our job was to create a fictional communicationscompany and descibe its services. We came up with SynCom, I made a logo, and we went with it. Kind of difficult to explain the first several slides without seeing the notes attached.

Editor's Notes
Good day everyone; consider these scenarios if you will.A terrific definition of chaos is when a client asks two different people in your firm the same question – and gets two different and conflicting answers.Another form of it is when there’s a crisis, and the press calls and gets somebody on the phone who hasn’t been briefed – maybe it’s the secretary or the janitor or the guy in room 214, you’ve all got someone in your firm who instead of passing the press call on to someone who knows, “oh yeah man I know what happened I tell you all about it!” There’s a real horror for you.Think of the managing partner that stresses about the fact that his or her clear and well-defined vision of the firm has become so diluted by the time it gets transmitted down the line that there’s cause to wonder - is everybody working for the same firm??
It's at times like these that somebody gets the idea that maybe the concept of internal communications is more than a management cliché. Clap! Maybe there’s something to it. So we have to ask ourselves a few questions:1. Where do internal communications begin? With a firm newsletter? Or regular staff meetings? Or memos? We all hate memos right2.Why do so many internal communications programs so consistently fail to communicate important information within a firm? 3.And when does a firm’s poor internal communication result in weak external communications? I don’t see anyone jumping up with the answers to these questions. Well I’m here to tell you that we have the answers. I’m here to tell you… that we are the answer. We are.. (Next slide)
