What are the differences between formal and informal communication?
(I think this is the same logic as learning the right way vs. the wrong way) However the main differences between formal and informal communication are:

Formal- Information is established from a formal channel by which sources of writting are generally taken from; policies, manuals, procedure and rule books, previous meetings, reports etc. Well rehearsed, planned and works well under a timely schedule.


Informal-  Information is gathered, with valid sources, however may not be communicated as wanted and can sometimes conflict with formal communication. Usually not planned/ scripted or written out, uses a model of "going with the flow," however tends to do for engaging with the audience and viewers than formal communicators do.

demonstrates that formal methods, start off at a higher value level, but continue to depreciate as it undergoes the expert phase. HOWEVER, informal methods start off at a lower value in the beginning but gradually increases as it reaches the expert phase.
