Internal communications planning template

The University's internal communications team has developed a template you can use to create an internal communications plan. It walks you through the considerations for goals/objectives, audiences, key messages, strategies/tactics, feedback and multi-way communications, timeline/work plan, budget, and measurement/follow up.

New internal communications resource

Another update from our busy friends in University Relations. In the Faculty and Staff section of the University's site, you can now find Resources for Internal Communications. The page includes information on things like U of M audience segmentation and which University units to contact in different situations. There are also updates on the Reinventing Internal Communications initiative.

At the bottom of the page, you'll see information on the Internal Communications Network. I attended the kickoff meeting last week and am looking forward to the group's accomplishments (view the meeting recording here). The Communicators Forum has been and will continue to be in close contact with this new network to make sure we're clear about how the two groups fit together.
