Abstract

In this communication strategy, ideal audiences that are perceived to yield an effective influence of the stakeholders include national security or intelligence groups, as well as external firms that engage in regular monitoring of user information systems in collaboration with Visa’s internal group of experts. Indeed, the role of the national intelligence group(s) lies in addressing potential legal liabilities that could arise from any customer complaints relating to communication failures or lapses when malicious activities are detected. Similarly, the national intelligence group acts as a regulator to check trends in Visa Inc.’s conformity to standards shaping the state of communication about user information (in terms of frequency) and advising about some of the emerging technologies or platforms that ought to be incorporated to foster inclusivity and reach out to as many customer bases as possible. On the other hand, external firms responsible for regular monitoring of user information will play the role of examining some of the strengths of the communication strategies outlined and advising about possible improvements that could be made to avoid lapses regarding the duration and frequency of updates to the customers. It is also worth noting that the general public forms another audience group that the formulated strategy seeks to involve because this group plays a significant role of airing views about possible improvements that could be made to the company’s current communication goals. An ideal communication platform through which views from members of the public could be received and enacted accordingly is the social media, a trend that prompts Visa to have open forums from which these members could be allowed to channel their views about the merits and demerits accruing from the communication goals and their eventual implementation.
