Interdepartmental Updates

Description

Updates between departments only help if they reach the right people. These ten PDF lessons show how to set up a system for that, starting with what interdepartmental communication involves and how to set clear objectives for cross-department updates.

Further lessons cover choosing communication tools, creating update templates and formats, setting frequency and cadence, and building relationships and trust across departments. The remaining lessons deal with measuring the impact, troubleshooting common problems, developing a sustainable update system and implementing feedback mechanisms. Checklists and exercises are included. The lessons are practical and written in plain language, so each step can be adapted to your own organization.

Who it is for: managers and team members who need to keep several departments informed.
