Step 1: Objectives
The first step in any good communications plan is to understand clearly what you are trying to achieve. The Objectives step is where you outline the business objective and communication purpose, including the evaluation of risks involved.
Step 2: Audiences
The key audiences are the various groups of people or stakeholders that you want to influence and which your communication plan will target.
Step 3: Change
The changes step enables you to map the current and desired mindset and behaviour of each of the target audiences you have identified.
Step 4: Messages
The messages step is where you design the key messages that need to reach your target audiences. You do this by considering the desired outcome for each audience and what that audience needs to know.
Step 5: Channels
A channel is a delivery mechanism for getting key messages to target audiences. This step is where appropriate channels are selected.
Step 6: Activities
The activities is where you consider exactly what it is that needs to happen to deliver the key messages through the identified channels to the target audiences in order to produce the desired changes and contribute to your communications purpose.
Step 7: Measures
The measures step is where you record how you will measure success in achieving the desired outcomes for each of your target audiences and what measures you aim to achieve.
Step 8: Finalise
The finalise step is where you are prompted to identify the key stakeholders for the plan, select the status of the plan and consider any next steps and any additional budget required.
