First, create an outline or concept map that summarizes your communication plan for a
significant organizational change or event. Consider the following examples: a new company
branding initiative; the restructuring of a team, department or business unit; a company-wide
community service project; the transition of an executive leader; an emergency response to
a natural disaster; a merger/acquisition; the closure/ending of the business; etc.
