Communications Survey
The People SIG – Communications Survey Spring 2009
The People SIG conference of July 2008, served as the catalyst for this communications survey. During the conference, it was established that there was little known about methods, processes and outcomes of existing communication in the project environment.
The People SIG sponsored Tim Lyons, a SIG member (and professional coach and project manager), to lead and conduct this initiative. Tim, together with People SIG member contributions, developed a broad based on-line questionnaire to explore the current state of communications within organisations. In this context we define communication as ‘a process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs or behaviour’.
Within this section you have access to three PDF documents:
• A summary of the communications survey output
• A detailed document providing the results of the survey and its immediate indicators and contributors
• A slide set for use in presenting the results of the survey
