Communication Plan
Purposedifferent
The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.When many people need to be informed in parallel and messages would otherwise arrive unevenly or too late, a Communication Plan orders communication reliably. Channels, audiences, and cadences interlock so important information doesn't get lost.
