It's very simple... segment your stakeholders or audience! Have you ever noticed a YouTube video with sub-divisions. Each of these divisions are headed with the theme/question/topic they'll be covering. This helps us understand that different demands can be met by guiding the stakeholders to their respective sections. Similarly, jargons cannot be everyone's cup of tea; layman's terms are more appreciated by newbies. Therefore, try making two sections: Primarily, for the common people using a comprehensive tone Secondly, for the professional stakeholders who can be fed with technical terminologies to grant authenticity and reliability of the information or services provided. Hence, the best way is the bifurcation and customization of tone.

Il est important de prendre en compte chacune des parties prenantes en n'oubliant pas que c'est vous, l'expert de la rédaction ! Vous devriez être en mesure d'avoir le dernier mot sur le texte, ce qui vous permettra de vous assurer qu'il est cohérent, tant dans le ton que dans les idées.

1. Understand Your Audience: - Senior Management/Board - use a formal, concise tone, focusing on strategic insights, key risks, and recommendations. Avoid unnecessary jargon. - Operational Teams - be clear and instructional, with detailed findings and actionable recommendations to support implementation. 2. Match Tone to Sections: - Executive Summary - keep it high-level for senior management. - Findings Section - be detailed and factual for operational teams. Use a persuasive yet practical tone in the recommendations. 3. Stay Objective: Avoid emotive language. Use factual statements, plain language, and visual aids for clarity.

To tailor your tone effectively, you need to first understand who your stakeholders are. This is so that you would know what type of language and words you should use. You should make sure that your tone is consistent for all types of stakeholders. You should preferably choose a tone that doesn't suit one type of stakeholder too much. You should also try to understand all of your stakeholders in your writing. This could be done by including words or sentences that shows how much you sympathize with them for example.

A l'agence, nous faisons face à cet exercice au quotidien. Le point de départ est de connaitre les parties prenantes cibles, leur langue préférée, leurs formats accessibles et surtout leur niveau de compréhension. Une fois que c’est fait, nous allons écrire pour une newsletter d’une manière différente que celle d’un speech vidéo par exemple. Pour un réseau social professionnel, d'une façon autre que celle adoptée pour un réseau social grand public. Nous allons utiliser un langage formel ou pas, intégrer un ton empathique ou pas, un vocabulaire soutenu ou simplifié… et ainsi de suite. Le plus important est de respecter les messages clés prédéfinis et d’adapter les contenus selon chaque cible et selon le format du canal utilisé.

Understand your audience by knowing their perception, level of understanding and pain point awareness. Also, set a specific tone and/or style of communication that will be aligned with you and help you connect with audience. Keep it simple, don't be heavy with details rather focus on key ones.

Effectively tailoring your tone for diverse stakeholders requires understanding their priorities, adapting communication styles, and maintaining a consistent core voice. Researching audience needs, balancing empathy with authority, and customizing delivery methods (like visuals or structure) ensure your message resonates. For professionals, focus on conciseness; for general audiences, prioritize clarity. Testing and iterating based on feedback refine your approach. Flexibility fosters connection while preserving message integrity. 😊

To appeal to a diverse audience, you should figure out the common thread and appeal to that shared aspect initially so that when you introduce a point that may not resonate with all you can use the common thread as a connection point to keep your audience united. Also take a tone of openness and curiosity versus aggressiveness or rigidity. Keep mentioning and interweaving that common point throughout your paper.

Understand that a single piece of writing might not be enough to meet the needs of all stakeholders and it might need to be rendered in multiple forms and/or versions and shared on diverse appropriate platforms .
