Your strategic plan rollout is causing misunderstandings. How can you effectively address miscommunication?
Yes, engage everyone, but everyone is not the same. You shouldn't provide the same message at the same time to everyone in the organization. Senior staff can feel blindsided or left out if they discover your new strategy at the same time as a junior analyst. Get them on board first and let them be your cheerleaders. They will feel more valued and more likely to buy in to your new initiative.

Resilience: Managing the Risk of Natural Disaster
Fluor & Society of American Military Engineers (SAME)
Resilience is an area of growing attention and growing concern. Over the years the need to comprehensively address all aspects of the resilience timeline has become ever more important. In conjunction with several co-authors, we have tried to address this topic through a pair of companion books that will be made available for free download through the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) council for "The Infrastructure Security Partnership (TISP)".
Resilience: Managing the Risk…Resilience is an area of growing attention and growing concern. Over the years the need to comprehensively address all aspects of the resilience timeline has become ever more important. In conjunction with several co-authors, we have tried to address this topic through a pair of companion books that will be made available for free download through the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) council for "The Infrastructure Security Partnership (TISP)".
Resilience: Managing the Risk of Natural Disaster considers risk management strategies, risk identification methods, and pre- and post- event activities to minimize risk. Post-event recovery is a more widely understood field, as practitioners have a plethora of lessons learned from completed projects. Pre-event planning as a means of minimizing damage and downtime is a lesser developed field, and this book organizes both literature supported data and the authors’ anecdotal experiences into a framework for disaster management, spanning pre- and post- event.
