Subjective communication objective

Successful communication inspires action and is clear to others what needs to happen to meet that objective.

All communication faces daunting odds to reach each person, intention intact. Perception, bias, and noise lay between intent, action, and reaction.

To succeed in the communication obstacle course against intent, you need to make clear how to make it happen.

One change management plan is irrational project management

That people change for organization need is at distinct odds with people’s needs. People change for organization goal is a very irrational expectation.

You can not plan for change if you do not plan for the impact that change has on individuals.

One communication plan can not account for the unique roles if it does not account for unique impact. One plan for all to follow equals everything that no one relates to.

One change management plan is irrational project management.

The change in change management

Change management goes beyond features and functions. Feature and function change management is product change management.

Change management goes beyond scope or requirements. Scope and requirement change management is project change management.

The change that change management needs is an account for how process and technology change the way people meet their objectives.
