			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s funny that in this modern world of blogs, podcasts, tweets, befriending on Facebook, and linking on LinkIn that the art of communication has changed into an almost anonymous practice.  Maybe that is not a bad thing, but communication is something that we all have to do, in whatever form, and I suppose the key then is to get good at it!</p>
<p>I am old school. That is, I do prefer a conversation with someone rather than texting or emailing, although I must admit I am slipping into the new world rather fast.  The biggest driver in my mind is that I can write blogs late at night, tweet while travelling, and generally communicate when I know that I cannot have that conversation with the recipient. Emailing gives you the audit trail you need sometimes (particularly documenting &#8220;informal&#8221; scope change) and blogs and tweets allow us to communicate with a much wider audience, for longer periods and in more detail.</p>
<p>So hail the new world and welcome to the Aikona blog, musings and information from the world of project management training and development, or in our space, competence development for project professionals &#8211; whether you are old school or new school &#8211; all are welcome!</p>
<p>Tony</p>
