Defining nous
Simply put, nous is the unique wisdom that steadily comes from knowing or doing something really well.
The ultimate in intellectual capital
As a compelling differentiator in business, your nous is your most important asset. It can’t be bought, faked or merely plucked out of a hat because it comes from years of frontline experience,
instinct and insight.
An intuitive inner compass
Without our nous we don’t benefit from the reliable stream of intuitive judgement calls that guide us towards our goals. Our nous is our in-built problem solving software. It reminds us of our values when we need them most, and puts us back on track, like an inner compass.
Yielding insight on experience
Nous can ignite new ideas as much as it can help make them happen. Some might go as far to call it the very engine room of enterprise and endeavour.
A communication liability?
More soberingly, our nous can also be a kind of armour, assuring us of our experience. Misplaced, it can make us complacent and out of touch with change. It can also be the very thing that compromises our ability to communicate effectively with the people that can benefit most from it. |
What is Nous Communications?
Straight from the source
Through unpretentious and practical collaboration with clients, Nous Communications provides an evolved, hands-on design resource for business, quite simply by channeling its clients’ own resources into results that generate a real-world return for their investment in graphic design.
Genuine collaboration with clients exponentially strengthens both the relevance and reach of graphic design in reality rather than only in ‘strategy’.
Beware of spin
Nous Communications
is centrally grounded by a healthy distrust of rhetoric and a priority that clients aren‘t spoken for by ‘clever consultants’ in the process of communicating with their market. It does this by integrating the science of communications, the craft of design and the art of facilitating great market relationships.
An under-utilised resource
Nous Communications is all about enabling its clients’ to transform their unique business nous into a really engaging conversation with their market.
As its name suggests, Nous Communications champions the very concept of nous itself as the most powerful, yet broadly under-utilised, agent in business communications.
Exposing the terrain
Nous Communications sees the role or ‘expertise’ of a designer to productively illuminate the relationship between client nous and market expectations so that communication exchanges can be navigated more effectively. |
