January 2026: Starting the year with a maintained corporate enquiry brief
Retrospective archive for January 2026. Prepared on 6 October 2026; this is not an original article from that period.
A maintained enquiry brief helps a business present a consistent purpose as new conversations begin. January 2026 is a practical checkpoint for reviewing the information recipients need to identify the organisation and understand its current enquiry scope.
Context for the period
The RBA’s November 2025 overview described stronger inflationary pressure than previously expected alongside a recovery in private demand. Read the contemporary RBA overview.
A practical approach
Check the approved business description, current contact route and the type of conversation being invited. Remove unsupported service claims and obsolete examples. Make document versions clear. Confirm that the brief, website and enquiry form describe the same scope and lead to the business’s own response process.
An illustrative example
A hypothetical information sheet invites corporate-information, supplier and partnership enquiries. The review checks that its wording does not imply an unconfirmed consultancy package or a guaranteed response time. A concise, accurate brief is a dependable starting point. Give the active version an owner and a review date so it remains useful throughout the year.
Three points to take into the conversation
- Check current scope
- Align the enquiry information
- Maintain the active brief
Before progressing the conversation, check that the purpose, current information, responsible contact and next review date are clear. For a corporate-information, supplier or partnership enquiry, contact EJN Services through its own enquiry route.
