ChannelGuide

Be channel agnostic. Consider every channel, every time. Don't be seduced by the apparent benefits of digital at the expense of exploring other platforms ... each has its own merits and costs.

Every organisation should have its own way of viewing, prioritising and using channels depending on its business goals and the experience it wants (and needs) to give its stakeholders.

This requires a bit of time and thinking, but it pays to resist the time-poor temptation of borrowing another organisations' view. What works for them, won't necessarily work for you.

(Really) understand the word.
