When you compete in a global economy with a workforce that has difficulty communicating and collaborating with each other, communication problems quickly become business problems. Internal and external miscommunication affect innovation, speed to market, execution, customer satisfaction, profitability, and many other key measures of company success. This is supported by a growing base of evidence, which shows a clear relationship between fluent business communication and financial performance. We call this Enterprise Fluency™: the communication, collaboration, and operational proficiency companies must have to profitably expand their global footprint. English has become the de facto language of global business. Business English is now the critical skill that fuels Enterprise Fluency. And Business English is distinct from conversational English; you learn a language but Business English is what you do with that language. Business English embraces the professional world of presentations, meetings, and conference calls and covers topics related to business functions, such as marketing and finance, as well as topics related to business sectors, such as banking and pharmaceuticals. The facts are in. Enterprise Fluency is not just nice to have; it is critical for expanding into new markets, competing globally, and managing global talents. Global enterprises need a global solution for improving Enterprise Fluency. The situation is too pressing, and the stakes too high, for anything less.
