If your company is well managed then pretty much anything can work. Meetings can be short and to the point. Memos/emails can also be short and to the point. When everyone understands what the ultimate goals are and are allowed to work towards those goals communication is minimal. Typically, though, goals are unclear and constantly shifting. From that flows multiple tasks that are all high priority up to the point they suddenly become irrelevant. In such an environment communication needs to be continuous. Continuous communication is by necessity synchronous.
