Communications is a critical management tool to build an aligned team. Consider the challenges when done poorly: misinterpretations, incorrect assumptions, disengagement, mistrust, and resistance to change.  And the business impact is real: poor communications puts the brakes on growth, reduces productivity, and has a negative impact on culture.
 Let’s talk about:

•  What role does each level of management and group have to play in getting the message out.

•   Internal communication best practices and inventory of possibilities

•   The “external” brand vs “internal” culture connection

•  How to identify when there is a “broken link” in the communications plan and execution, and what to do about it.
