The ability to communicate effectively is not a “soft skill” in any meaningful sense — it is a core driver of organizational performance, decision making, and strategy execution.

According to McKinsey research, strong communication practices can improve organizational productivity by up to 25%. Similarly, CMS Wire reports that companies with effective communication strategies are 3.5 times more likely to outperform their peers.

These findings align with what most leaders already see in practice: organizations operate through a constant flow of emails, meetings, messages, and conversations happening every day, at every level.

The real question is not whether communication is happening — it is how much of it is actually working.

In your experience, how many of those messages are truly:

  • Clear?
  • Concise?
  • Actionable?

Most professionals would likely respond: “Not many.”

And that gap carries a measurable cost. When communication is unclear or inefficient, it does not simply create frustration — it quietly drains productivity, slows decision-making, and increases the likelihood of rework and misalignment. Consider a few revealing data points:

  • 31% of employees report they never visit their organization’s internal intranet
  • 92% admit to deleting internal emails without opening or reading them
  • 75% feel they do not receive the information required to do their jobs effectively

Taken together, these figures point to a systemic issue: organizations are investing heavily in communication channels, but not necessarily in communication effectiveness. The result is information overload without information clarity.

Our communication skills training and consulting solutions have a proven track record of helping executives, teams, and individuals improve communication in four key areas:

I continue to be impressed by the depth and breadth of LSA’s expertise in leadership development, and management development.

A key to performance improvement is cultivating the proper type of motivation.

Since the performance management training, I have been much more focused on identifying and discussing how our actions in Engineering create value to IGT’s success.

The feedback has been very positive, the group appears to be more accountable for their actions, and victim loop reactions are less frequent.  Thank you!
