Building Good Bilingual Strategic Communications

By Marlene Blevins


Measures taken in planning of issues such as public relations, running of advertisements and how the management communicates are referred to as strategic communications. These communications are referred to as bilingual strategic communications if two languages are involved. Organizations running in regions with two prevalent languages have mastered the use of this communication in writing plans so that all people get to understand them clearly.

The professional communication laid out in the plan sometimes require professional communicators. This gives the organization or corporation confidence that each and every experience and message send to the clients leaves a good impression. These communicators can be translators who are able to clearly and correct translate between the two languages. They are an integral part of the organization.

To build a good strategic bilingual communication, a strong foundation is a must have for good performance and continued growth. Clearly stated purpose, the objectives and mission of the company should be drafted clearly and the recommended action course defined. Good strategies of communication are important mainly because in their absence confusion will prevail in the organization resulting to loss of resources such as money and time.

Proper management of the integrated system adopted by the firm bores discipline in the firm. The situation is complicated by existence of two command languages in the same organisation. The presences of adequate plans to take care of the situation, usually bilingual communications systems, make things better. The set management communications may then be fully complied with.

Getting the rights tools is the next step in building a good system. A model of what/who/how should be used. This "what" model gives the experiences together with messages you intent to make. The ways of creating that model is "How" and the individuals to be used in the process constitute the "Who". That is the first step in getting to create a great bilingual communications strategy.

The "what" captures decisions to be made on the reasons consumers should buy products from you and the information about your business that will be shared with the public. On the "How" weaknesses and strengths of different channels of communication at your disposal are explored. The audiences you are targeting are the "Who".

Development process comes next after the tools have been identified. A lot of time will be spent on this stage of building a good strategic communication plan. This step has different stages which all should be done with care. The plan should be approved as the first stage so that other stages can be based on the plan. The project initiation comes next followed by concept development. After that a comprehensive creative development is done with metrics of performance and governance clearly stated so that when the plan is produced and distributed to all staff it will be easily understood in either of the languages used in writing it.

You need a great and motivated team with the right skills to build this kind of strategic communications for your organization. People with passion on what they do, will do it perfectly and happily. It will also reduce the pressure on the management to appoint a person with excellent strategic communication leadership skills to perform the duties of maintained a good strategic communication system in the organization.
