Critical Communications Milestones

While good communication planning is part of every project using the CVP framework, projects that are considering global sourcing as an option need to assure that the communication plan includes communication of specific messages to key internal audiences (HR, Legal, Press Office, DB Comms, Key Stakeholders) around three key events:

1) An RFP has been issued to a group of suppliers that includes any of the four Indian suppliers
2) A Decision is made to award business to a supplier or suppliers who submitted proposals
3) A Contract is signed with a supplier for the business in RFP scope

The 'Communication Trigger Events' slide more fully describes the events, message content, and audiences that must be included.
