Communication strategy
Objectives
Common understanding
• Share information actively that are
important for the team
• Keep your promises and
commitments, if not possible at
certain circumstances, communicate
immediately
• Mode of day-to-day communication:
Email communication
While corresponding among ourselves
through email, let’s have some rules so
that communication happens in time:
• Answer your mails in a reasonable time
• Always acknowledge an email within 24 hours
Use codes for email priorities:
• FYI: for your informationJust for the information, no action is needed
• FYA: for your action
Response is expected within 24 hours
• URGENT/IMPORTANT
Response is expected within 12 hours

Thank you
The single biggest
problem in
communication is the
illusion that it has
taken place.
