In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:

Craft a communication strategy for internal and external audiences

Scenario
The vice president of leadership and learning has shared your toolkit with the chief human resources officer (CHRO). The CHRO is impressed with the toolkit. She plans to roll it out to all people leaders in the organization—supervisors and above—and asks you to create a communication strategy for the rollout.
The CHRO shared her vision with you, which consisted of the following key points she wants you to take into consideration when crafting the communication strategy:

Inform your audience of the who, what, when, where, why, and how.
Ensure the new leadership development strategy moves from a lofty vision with idealistic targets to reality, with direct impact on and with our front-line supervisors, our “boots on the ground,” and managers up through the organization.
Be clear when explaining WIIFM— “What’s in It for Me.”
Define the timetable for the rollout and implementation.
Ensure that the strategy defines what success looks like, with clear metrics and deliverables.

Directions

State the business problem that will be addressed in rolling out the new adaptive leadership toolkit.
Explain why these specific leadership skills and behaviors are being targeted.
Provide a summary analysis of the employee satisfaction survey, identifying strengths and weaknesses.
Introduce the new adaptive leadership toolkit, including how it will be used and the value it provides.
Utilize your own personal development plan as an example for others.
Provide a strong conclusion that supports your thesis statement and goes beyond merely restating key points.

Ensure all key points are addressed in a logical by using the Five Ws and One H as an outline when developing the specific detail for each step of the communication strategy.
