Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

19. Principles Of Communication
Principle of
Clarity
Principle of
Attention
Principle of
Feedback
Principle of
Informality
Principle of
Consistency
Principle of
Timeliness
Principle of
Adequacy
20. • Principle of Clarity: The idea or message to be
communicated should be clearly spelt out. It should be
worded in such a way that the receiver understands the
same thing which the sender wants to convey. There
should be no ambiguity in the message. It should be kept in
mind that the words do not speak themselves but the
speaker gives them the meaning.
• Principle of Attention: In order to make communication
effective, the receiver’s attention should be drawn towards
message. People are different in behaviour, attention,
emotions etc. so they may respond differently to the
message. Subordinates should act similarly as per the
contents of the message. For example, if a superior is very
punctual in coming to the office then subordinates will also
develop such habits. It is said that ‘actions speak louder
than words.
21. • Principle of Feedback: The principle of feedback is
very important to make the communication effective.
There should be a feedback information from the
recipient to know whether he has understood the
message in the same sense in which the sender has meant
it.
• Principle of Informality: Formal communication is
generally used for transmitting messages and other
information. Sometimes formal communication may not
achieve the desired results, informal communication may
prove effective in such situations. Management should
use informal communication for assessing the reaction of
employees towards various policies. Senior management
may informally convey certain decisions to the employees
for getting their feedback.
22. • Principle of Consistency: This principle states that
communication should always be consistent with the
policies, plans, programmes and objectives of the
organization and not in conflict with them. If the
messages and communications are in conflict with the
policies and programmes then there will be confusion in
the minds of subordinates and they may not implement
them properly.
• Principle of Timeliness: This principle states that
communication should be done at proper time so that it
helps in implementing plans. Any delay in
communication may not serve any purpose rather
decisions become of historical importance only.
23. • Principle of Adequacy: The information communicated
should be adequate and complete in all respects.
Inadequate information may delay action and create
confusion. Inadequate information also affects efficiency of
the receiver. So adequate information is essential for taking
proper decisions and making action plans.

mind of receiver.
• Complete communication helps in better decision-making by
the audience/readers/receivers of message as they get all
desired and crucial information.
• It persuades the audience.
27. 3. Conciseness

37. • Sender: The sender or the communicator is the person who
initiates the conversation and has conceptualized the idea that
he intends to convey it to others.
• Encoding: The sender begins with the encoding process
wherein he uses certain words or non-verbal methods such as
symbols, signs, body gestures, etc. to translate the
information into a message. The sender’s knowledge, skills,
perception, background, competencies, etc. has a great impact
on the success of the message.
• Message: Once the encoding is finished, the sender gets the
message that he intends to convey. The message can be
written, oral, symbolic or non-verbal such as body gestures,
silence, sighs, sounds, etc. or any other signal that triggers
the response of a receiver.
38. • Communication Channel: The Sender chooses the medium
through which he wants to convey his message to the recipient.
It must be selected carefully in order to make the message
effective and correctly interpreted by the recipient. The choice
of medium depends on the interpersonal relationships between
the sender and the receiver and also on the urgency of the
message being sent. Oral, virtual, written, sound, gesture, etc.
are some of the commonly used communication mediums.
• Receiver: The receiver is the person for whom the message is
intended or targeted. He tries to comprehend it in the best
possible manner such that the communication objective is
attained. The degree to which the receiver decodes the message
depends on his knowledge of the subject matter, experience,
trust and relationship with the sender.
39. • Decoding: Here, the receiver interprets the sender’s message
and tries to understand it in the best possible manner. An
effective communication occurs only if the receiver
understands the message in exactly the same way as it was
intended by the sender.
• Feedback: The Feedback is the final step of the process that
ensures the receiver has received the message and interpreted it
correctly as it was intended by the sender. It increases the
effectiveness of the communication as it permits the sender to
know the efficacy of his message. The response of the receiver
can be verbal or non-verbal.

• External communication: Internal communication is
the process of exchanging information with the people of
various external or outside parties of the organization.
Generally, these parties are a stakeholder of the
organization.

the down/bottom of the organizational structure to the top
of the organizational structure.
• (iii) Cross or diagonal communication: Diagonal or cross
communication occurs when information flows between
persons at different levels who have no direct reporting
relationship.
44. B. Based on formality

verbal (that is, expressed in words) or they may not involve
words at all but consist of gestures, facial expressions, and
certain postures (body language).
49. I. Linear Model
• The linear
communication model
explains the process of
one-way
communication,
whereby a sender
transmits a message and
a receiver absorbs it.
• In its new form, the
message is transmitted
to the receiver, who then
decodes it.
50. ARISTOTLE’SMODEL
A framework for thinking about how to
improve your communication abilities, by
looking at key aspects underpinning a
situation.
51. ARISTOTLE’SMODEL
• 300BC – Model designed to examine how to become a better
and more convincing communicator.
• Five elements of communication:
Speaker
Speech
Occasion
Target Audience
Effect
52. the role of
• Three elements that will improve communication:
Ethos (credibility)
Pathos (ability to connect)
Logos (logical argument)
• Aristotle’s model does not pay attention to
feedback in communication.
53. LASWELL
’SMODEL
A basic framework for analyzing one-way
communication by asking five questions:
Who, said what, through which channel,
to whom, with what effects?
54. LASSWELL
’SMODEL
• Tries to understand a communication event by asking five important
questions.
Who created the message,
What they said,
Channel they said it through (e.g T.V, Blog)
Who they said it to
What effect it had on the receiver
• This model is effective because:-
• Provides a very simple and practical way of critiquing (evaluate) a
message.
• Exploring five important elements that can help explain the event
under analysis in more detail.
56. SHANNON – WEAVER MODEL
The Shannon – Weaver model is the first
to highlight the role of “noise” in
communication, which can disrupt or
alter a message between sender and
receiver.
57. SHANNON – WEAVER MODEL
• Sees communication occurring in five key parts
Sender
Encoder
Channel
Decoder
Receiver
• Emphasizes the importance of encoding and decoding messages
for them to be sent (e.g. turning them into written words)
• During the process of encoding, sending and decoding, “noise”
occurs that can disrupt or cloud a message.
• This model was first to introduce the role of NOISE in the
communication process.
61. BERLO’S S-M-C-R MODEL
• In 1960, David
communication
Berlo postulated Berlo’s SMRC Model of
from Shannon Weaver’s Model of
communication.
• He describes factors affecting the individual components in the
communication making the communication more efficient.
• The model also focuses on encoding and decoding which
happens before sender sends the message and before receiver
receives the message respectively.
• Berlo’s model has mainly four components to describe the
communication process. They are Sender, Message, Channel and
Receiver. Each of this component is affected by many factors.
62. Berlo’s model includes a number of factors
under each of the elements:
message
I. Source: The source is situated where the
originates.
• Communication skills – It is the skill of the individual to
communicate. For example, the ability to read, write, speak,
listen etc.
• Attitudes – This includes attitudes towards the audience,
subject and towards oneself. For example, for the student, the
attitude is to learn more and for teachers, it is to help teach.
• Knowledge– Communicating also means that the person needs
to be knowledgeable about the subject or topic. For e.g. a
teacher needs to know about the subject in detail that he or
she teaches so that they can communicate properly such that
the students understand here.
63. • Social system – The social system includes the various
aspects of society like values, beliefs, culture, religion and a
general understanding of society. It is where the
communication takes place. For example, classrooms differ
from country to country just like people’s behaviours and how
they communicate, etc.
• Culture - Culture of a particular society also comes under the
social system.
64. II. Message
• Content – The body of a message, from the beginning to the
end, comprises its content. For example, whatever the class
teacher teaches in the class, from beginning to end, is the
content of the message.
• Elements – It includes various things like language, gestures,
body language, etc. They constitute all the elements of a
particular message. Any content is accompanied by some
elements.
• Treatment – It refers to the packing of the message and the
way in which the message is conveyed or the way in which it is
passed on or delivered.
65. • Structure– The structure of the message refers to how it
is arranged; the way people structure the message into
various parts.
• Code– The code of the message refers to the means
through which it is sent and in what form. It could be, for
example, language, body language, gestures, music, etc.
Even culture is a code. Through this, people give and
receive messages and communication takes place.
66. III. Channel
Channel– It refers to the five sense organs. The following are the
five senses:
• Hearing: The use of ears to receive the message. For example,
orally transmitted messages, interpersonal communication etc.
• Seeing: Visual channels, for example, Watching television so
the message is conveyed through the scene/film.
• Touching: The sense of touch can be used as a channel to
communicate. For example, we touch, buy food, hugging our
loved ones etc.
• Smelling: Smell also can be a channel to communicate. For
example, perfumes, food, fragrances etc. Charred smell
communicates something is burning. People can deduct which
food is being cooked by its smell etc.
• T
asting : The tongue is a muscular organ used in the act of eat
and taste food. For example, while a food is being shared, the
communication can happen regarding its taste.
67. IV. Receiver
• The receiver needs to think all the contents and
elements of the source, so as to
communicate/responds to sender effectively.;
• Berlo’s model believes that for effective
communication to take place, the source and the
receiver need to be on the same level. Only then
communication will happen or take place properly.
Hence, the source and the receiver should be similar.
• For example, if the communication skill of the source
is good, then the receiver should have equally good
listening skills.
68. II. The Interactive Models
Interactive models are best
for explaining impersonal
two-way communication
processes.
70. • The Osgood-Schramm model of communication is defined as
a circular model that shows that messages go in two
directions. The model has four key principles:
(1) Communication is circular not linear;
(2) Communication is usually equal and reciprocal;
(3) Messages require interpretation;
(4) There are three steps for communicating: encoding,
decoding and interpreting.
• This model is best for explaining and examining personal
synchronous communication where feedback is
immediate.(such as face to face discussions)
• As feedback is immediate, noise can be reduced through
ongoing clarifications of message during the conversation.
72. • Communication is seen to start with environmental factors
which influence someone to speak.
• It believes the communication process doesn’t start at the
sender. Rather, it starts with environmental factors that
influence the sender.
• It can account for both interpersonal and mass communication.
• It also acknowledges the role of feedback in communication.
THEWESTLEYAND MACLEAN
MODEL
73. 1. Environment (X)
Communication starts with the environment around the speaker. Some stimulus
in the environment will motivate the person to create a message and send it out.
E.g. The culture or society in which you live.
2. Sensory Experiences (XI)
The speaker experiences something in their environment in some way or
another, which motivates them to send their message.
E.g. Watching television, Hearing something from a friend.
3. Source (A)
The source is the person who sends the message. A sender may be a person
talking one-to-one with their friend (interpersonal communication). They may
also be a newscaster sending a message to millions of people (mass
communication).
E.g. Social media influencers, Instagrammers, Bloggers, Teachers sending
a message to their students.
74. 4. Object of Orientation of the Source (X2)
The object of orientation of the source is the subjective beliefs or
experiences of the person sending the message.
E.g. A feminist (A), who is concerned with how women are represented
in the environment (XI) which impacts how she sends her message.
5. Receiver
The receiver is the person who gets the message.
E.g. A person watching TV receives a message from their television.
6. Object of Orientation of the Receiver (X3)
The object of orientation of the receiver is the subjective beliefs or
experiences of the person receiving the message. The receiver will decode a
message using their own personal perspectives.
E.g. A critical thinker, who is skeptical of the messages they see on TV.
75. 7. Feedback
The Westley-Maclean model sees feedback loops as important for
influencing how messages are sent. This makes this model a circular
model.
8. Gatekeepers
Gatekeepers are more common in mass communication than
interpersonal communication. They are the editors of messages before
they are passed on to the receiver.
E.g. A newspaper editor who makes sure the grammar and spelling
are accurate.
9. Opinion Leaders
Westley and Maclean believe one key person in the mass
communication process is an opinion leader. This person may have an
oversized influence as an environmental factor (X) upon the message
sender (A).
E.g. Celebrities who have large followings of fans.
76.
77. III. The T
ransactional Models
Transactional Models explain direct personal communication
processes where two-way feedback is immediate.
79. BARNLUND’STRANSACTIONAL
MODEL
• This model explores interpersonal, immediate-feedback
communication.
• Central to this approach is the idea that feedback for the sender is
the reply for the receiver.
• Also highlights the role of “cues” in impacting our messages.
Public cues are environmental cues
Private cues which are person’s personal thoughts and
background.
With this emphasis on cues, Barnlund’s model highlights the
factors that influence that we think and say.
80. DANCE‘SHELICALMODEL
Dance’s Helical model sees
communication as a circular process
that gets more and more complex as
communication occurs, which can be
represented bya helical spiral.
81. DANCE‘S HELICALMODEL
• Dance’s Helical Model builds on circular models by
explaining how we improve our messages over time by using
feedbacks.
• When we communicate with others, their feedback will
influence our next statement.
• We become more knowledgeable with
communication, enabling up to ‘expand
each cycle of
our circle’, as
represented by the increasingly wider and wider circles.
• The movement up
communication practice
the spiral indicates
is new and different
that each
from the
previous, as communication does not ever perfectly repeat
itself.
