Importance of internalcommunication • For projects where many partners work together, a well organised and managed internal communication is very important and a critical success factor: • Internal communication keeps all project partners aimed at the same final goal • Helps all involved parties to understand the project aims and activities and their roles • Allows to monitor project progress, keep the workplan updated, anticipate difficulties in implementation… • Good internal communication involves regular and effective two-way communication with all project partners

  3. Agreeoncommunication procedures • Agree on when and how and on what are you and your partners communicating • Make a format for (monthly) internal reports • Agree on tools that will be used: e-mail, internal newsletters, skype meetings, real meetings • Agree on who is responsible for the website and who and when will contribute for the updates

  4. Tools for internal communication • Electronic: • Email: Email has made sharing information much simpler, but avoid clogging up inboxes with too much irrelevant information (think about who should receive a cc.) Also, it can be one-way and you cannot be sure emails are read or digested • Intranet: It is a fast, interactive and cost effective way of distributing information to a large number of people • Internal newsletters (e-mailed or accessible via the intranet) • Oral: regular meetings with your partners to coordinate tasks for project implementation; tele or video conferences • Written materials: Internal memos, meeting notes, progress reports etc.
