"Read this before buying Corp Comms Tech!"
I am sharing this excellent post by Lydia Wu, as, in my opinion, her insights also apply to Corp Comms.

From my encounters with HR Tech from the learning tech world, I’m inclined to agree. Where I’d disagree, is that everything HR (and this is slightly less true of comms) has to land well with users. That means content has to be accurate, well-written, understandable, and actionable. Micro-copy has to be right and not detract from the task at hand (unlike some training I was doing today). Broader themes have to be consistent and not contradictory. It’s too easy to make compromises with content, so potential solutions need to be tested by people with a real feel for how written/graphic/video content can work together.

Absolutely and that process can take weeks with approvals. It can be stressful for a communicator pushing news out across an enterprise. I remember doing this on hundreds of occasions thinking is it correct and hovering my finger over the send email icon and saying a little prayer.
