Managerial communication plan
A managerial communication plan that facilitates effective and efficient internal communications between departmental managers and departmental teams:
• Should include policies for oral, written, and non-verbal communications.
• Should include procedures for communications involving conflict management and decision making.
• Should detail the specific process and tools used to communicate between departments in specific situations.
• Submit the communication plan in a formal, written report that includes the policies, procedures, processes, and tools that your organization will use, along with an analysis of why you selected each component.
• The report should be in APA format
You may want to this start this project by deciding the type of organization or industry you will be writing about. For example, a communication plan for a manufacturing plant, where all employees work in one large building, may be different than the plan at a retail chain that has stores in many different cities or a virtual company, where most employees work from home.
Effective managerial communications will take down the walls between departments, opening the flow of information, knowledge, and ideas between divisions. As you develop your plan, think about ways to facilitate communications between groups that normally do not interact with each other.
Think about the different communication tools that organizations have access to today, and how these tools are used. Every company has access to telephones and email but think about other technologies that allow collaboration across workgroups.
Consider both synchronous tools, such as instant messaging, video conferences, or in-person meetings, and asynchronous tools, like SharePoint, discussion threads, or wikis. As you research your plan, consider the tools that make the most sense for your organization and your plan.
