Judge: Best Plain Language Website — Public Sector
‘The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place’ — George Bernard Shaw
In 2022, it’s not enough for us to believe that our job is done when we’ve sent the email, printed the document, or published the website. True communication only happens when our information connects with, and comes alive for, the people it’s intended for. When we get it right, something a little bit magic happens.
