Communicate clearly

• Communicate clearly and openly with stakeholders about the problem, the decision-making process, and the solutions that are being considered.

Engage stakeholders in two-way conversations to build transformative partnerships, using empathy to understand their perspectives. Conduct stakeholder analyses to anticipate and address their concerns proactively. Communicate in ways that meet stakeholders’ needs, using consistent mediums like digital newsletters. Choose the right communication channel for the message, keep content relevant and succinct, and share information where stakeholders are most active. Be honest about both successes and challenges to build trust, consider stakeholders’ communication preferences, and add personalized touches to build relationships. Foster a sense of community with informal communication and maintain consistent contact to align on objectives.
