XYZ Workspaces creates workspaces based on client needs worldwide. They are a hybrid company mixing online contracting and manufacturing plants located in three countries: Austria, Switzerland, and Malaysia. They primarily create small office spaces for up to 10 persons that can then be collapsed and moved to another site in remote areas. The company, in turn, subcontracts a shipping line in each of these three countries that carry the collapsible offices to ports around the world and then trucks the offices to the client site. Companies subscribe on a contractual basis for this collapsible office service once they have initially paid for the construction of the offices. Each team is headed by a senior installer who supervises the two installers, the shipping company contact, and the truckers.

Lately, there have been problems between the installers, the subcontracted shippers, and truckers who must work as a team to get each job completed at the location on time. The shippers and the truckers all say that XYZ supervisors are not their supervisors. The teams seem stuck in the storming stage . This problem has led to delays in installations and cost overruns.

Corporate Communications and Marketing Strategy D2M2

DEVELOPING AN INTERNAL COMMUNICATION PLAN
The first step for an internal communication plan is the same as for an external communication plan. It has to start by having a close look over the organisation.
This is a list of questions that the management team should answer before developing an internal communication plan:
• What are the organisation’s mission and goals?
• What is the organisational structure of the company?
• Who works in the organisation?
• What characterises the organisational culture and the internal communication?
• What communication tools are used within the organisation?
• What are the internal communication needs?
• How does the management team answer to these questions?

Developing a strategy of internal communication

The process of developing a strategy of internal communication assumes to attend the following steps:

1. Determine the aim. It is necessary to identify what is the aim of the internal communication strategy. In this respect, the managerial team has to ensure that persons/compartments within the organization have access to all the information they require to make grounded decisions and maximise their outcome.

2. Define the objectives. The objectives have to be specific and measurable, and must derive from the aim or the mission of the organization. In selecting the objectives, the managerial team should pay attention to the shortcomings appeared in the internal communications that were identified when the organization was analysed. The management should ensure that all staff understands the values, vision and mission of the organisation and its key organisational developments.

3. Identify the key messages. The key messages do not have to be complex, they could be simple, and for example “it is important for staff to know that the organisation goes forward.” Likewise, the message does not have to be explicit in each communication; rather, the context, environment and frequency of the communication should involve a
message. A key message could be “Staff’s involvement in management’s decisions is valued and important.” This message should encourage staff to send their observations and concerns (Hume, 007).

IS Technology Current Event assignment

In the IS Technology Current Event assignment, you will create summary report on topics relating to Information Systems technologies that have impacted a business decision or served prominently as a solution utilized by an enterprise. The idea here is to locate timely, newsworthy data from a source that presents interesting articles relating to the latest developments in Information Systems. You will evaluate and synthesize your new-found data and post a summary of the current event in a discussion forum to share the knowledge gained with your peers.

Select an information system that you feel has greatly impacted or assisted business processes during your employment history. Explain where an information system solution could have been implemented in your employment history, pointing out issues or shortcomings in business processes that could have been reduced or eliminated.
