In today’s business and diplomatic world, protocol has become a sophisticated and strategic asset. The protocol guides how we behave socially, conduct business and interact in specific situations. This positively impacts how people live and work together, with less friction caused at a time by barriers in the social-cultural environment in which we operate. Traditionally protocol tended to have a narrow definition and therefore was classified as of operational rather than strategic significance. Protocol is more than escorting visitors and others of precedence. In the government and corporate world, it enables people of diverse backgrounds and social orientations to carry business in a friendly atmosphere and manage today’s complex and cosmopolitan world with ease and finesse. A well-executed event creates a lasting and positive impression on your audience and motivates them to relate with your organization in their future business.
