Org Communication

Simple template for broad organizational communications.

Having now done dozens of organization changes, I’ve whittled down my process into a simple template that keeps me organized and reminds me of key learnings. Hope you find it useful too!

⁠

Subject

[ Add subject here... Remember that people receive the rest of the message based on the headline. ]

Target Time

[ Add target date & time... Nothing worse than “oh no, I didn’t get a chance to talk to important person X” ]

Content

[ Add the content of email or Slack message... Remember to clearly explain the ‘why’ behind the change ]

⁠

Pre-send feedback

[ Add everyone you need feedback from below... remember (1) ensure every stakeholder involved in making the org decision provides feedback, (2) anyone mentioned directly in the mail should see it before it’s sent ]
