First, create an outline or concept map that summarizes your communication plan for a

significant organizational change or event. Consider the following examples: a new company

branding initiative; the restructuring of a team, department or business unit; a company-wide

community service project; the transition of an executive leader; an emergency response to

a natural disaster; a merger/acquisition; the closure/ending of the business; etc.

Second, include a fully composed email that communicates specifics around the change or

event.

Make sure to answer the following questions as you prepare your communication plan and

draft your email:

· Who is your audience?

· What is your strategy for reaching your audience effectively?

· How are you tailoring your message to reach the individual, group, and organizational

levels?

· What powers of influence will you utilize?

· What barriers to communication are present?

· What is your timeline?

· What method(s) will you use and why (in-person, written, video, email, newsletter,

etc.)?

· How will you measure your results? (How will you know the message was received?)

· How does the application of a biblical worldview and biblical principles affect your

communication plan?
