The communication strategy report (2000 words)
Your role as a management consultant has been to undertake an evaluation of a problem or an opportunity for your client organisation. Your role has NOT been to implement the recommendations that you make. Rather it is to provide feedback, advice and direction on which your client organisation can act. Central to providing advice is what you communicate and who you communicate to. The final Module Project submission will take the form of a report to look at the methods you will use to deliver your report to your client organisation.
When communicating feedback to your client organisation, you need to consider various important dimensions to the communication:
• What type(s) of communication will you use? Will it be a formal presentation, an extensive report or an informal discussion?
• Who will you communicate the feedback to? Does everybody within the organisation need to be communicated with directly? Or do you communicate to a select number of key stakeholders?
• What information do you need to convey? What message do you want to get across?
• Finally, what actions do you prescribe to the client organisation? And, how prescriptive do you need to be?
• Outline your communication strategy/strategies:
o Will you communicate at the end of your consulting work, or at stages during the consulting process?
o Will you wait until the end to communicate your report in its entirety, or will you communicate your report at intervals, with a concluding report at the end of the process. Explain which timing method(s) you will use.
o Which stakeholders will you present to?
o What setting will you choose to present the findings from your consulting work?
o How do you intend to address and manage your client organisation’s concerns over the outcomes of the consultancy project?
o What type of follow-up to your consulting work will you undertake?
Communicating your strategy is a significant part of your consultancy project. The client wants to see just what s/he has paid you to do; and your communication is the opportunity to show that your work will be of real value to the client.
