Communicate with all Stakeholders
The future is looking bright! You have the entire group revved up like a steam engine ready to roll toward the vision you have crafted. Your vision is specific, detailed, and colorful. It enables your team to see and feel what things will be like when the change efforts are completed. Now that your team is ready, they need to get everyone excited about the change. Chances are it’s not just you and your close team that will be impacted by this change. In order to make change more successful, it’s best to communicate carefully with all the stakeholders to be sure they understand and support the change efforts.
Specific questions or items to address:
First, review the feedback from your instructor on Part 4. Use any new information you gained from the discussion and feedback from your instructor to revise and improve Part 4 of your project. Next, compile Part 5 of your project, explaining what actions you and your team will take to communicate change with stakeholders of your situation and work to gain their buy-in. Be specific in the methods you will use to communicate: when, in what detail, and to whom.
Once you have crafted your communication strategy, draw up a mock questionnaire to survey a few of your key stakeholders. (The survey you devise is only hypothetical-you do not need to actually survey individuals from your change scenario.) The survey should allow you to gage the success of your communication strategy and identify changes that might be necessary in your strategy.
Be sure to include at least three scholarly references to support your assertions written in your own words. Do not copy word for word from the course text or any other sources. Your submission this week is Part 5 of the final project.
