By Marlene Blevins


Strategic communications are the measures taken to ensure there is good planning on issues like public relations, advertisings and management communication. Bilingual strategic communications are the plans in the in strategic communication when available in two different languages. Some organizations operating in an area where two languages are commonly used, it would be necessary to write the plans correctly in both languages.

Professional communicators are needed to carry out the laid out professional communications in the plan. A new confidence comes to the organization when they are sure that messages being conveyed to clients and the experiences leave a recommendable impression. They can be professional translators trusted with the job of translating between the two languages clearly. The organization can't do without them.

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 system is required in a complicated and integrated organization system to instill discipline among those working in it. The system gets more complicated in case it is bilingual environment. Everything, however, goes as per plan and is standard if bilingual communication system is used with easy understanding and following of communications from the management.

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.

It is necessary to note that the decisions and actions taken to make consumers buy from you and the information the public gets to know about you company are all discussed in "what". The weaknesses and strengths which can be exploited in different communication channels are stated under the "How". The audiences targeted automatically fall under the "Who".

Once you are done with the tools you should start the development process. This is a lengthy process with different stages starting with the plan approval, where the whole plan is proofread and given a go ahead, then project initiation. It does not stop there with the next step being the concept development followed by creative development. The last step is production and distribution to all staff in the organization in the language they understand. The governance and metrics of performance should be clearly stated.

A great, skillful and motivated team is needed for a good strategic communications to be build. Passionate people are the best choice because they will most likely do a perfect job. Make sure that you hire a person with very good leadership skills in strategic communication.
