Prepare the communication plan for an important project kick-off meeting. Working jointly in the role of project leader, you are in the preparation stage for the official kick-off meeting of your important project. The project includes nine team members in the United States, as well as twelve in Mexico and eight in Indonesia. U.S.-based team members report to you directly, while the local sub-team leaders in Mexico and Indonesia report both to you and to their respective local boss. The purpose of the kick-off meeting is to - share the mission for the project and motivate the project team to achieve it; - ensure that the project team understands relevant project details, such as objectives, deliverables, and milestones; - gather feedback from the project team on potential issues and caveats. The communication plan needs to explain the following points and give insights into your rationale: o How will the meeting be held? Which presentation& communication methods will you be using? [Note: for cost reasons, international travel is not an option] o Who will be invited to attend the meeting? o Who will be presenting at the meeting? o Which additional communication will take place outside of the meeting (before and/or after)? o How will you solicit project team feedback? When making decisions about the meeting, please consider pertaining cultural characteristics and communication preferences in order to maximize the success of the meeting.
