4. Conclusions
Communication 4.0 represents a challenge due to the enormous speed of digital transformation. We have reviewed external communication processes with an emphasis on the digital tools needed to effectively communicate our ideas and reach our target audience, stressing the creation of Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram. We have also seen the need for a digital marketing strategy that allows us to define our objectives and the subjacent principles that govern any marketing proposal. On the other hand, we have seen the creation of an internal communication plan, highlighting the most remarkable features and the need for open and fluid communication between employees. We closed our module with a brief approach to social media metrics to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of our communication strategies. In short, we focused on practical creation, promoting a step-by-step vision of development and implementation. We hope this module can contribute to achieving your goals and help you to lead your future communication strategy. Remember that adaptation is a fundamental competence of the creation process and, therefore, we want to encourage you to be updated on the trends of communication 4.0 and to make the most of your efforts.
2.3 Optimising the battery usage (laptop)
To avoid your work being interrupted (or even lost!) by a lack of battery power here are some tips to optimise battery use.
When you are at home or at your organisation’s premises, don’t hesitate to simply plug in your laptop!
Enable the “power/battery saving” or “low energy” mode found on almost all recent laptops. This will help you save your battery if you are unable to plug in your computer.
Reduce the brightness of your screen (which consumes a lot of battery power!)
Limit the number of applications/software you open at the same time.
