Communications at Multiple Levels
Do you ever wonder how a simple message gets misinterpreted? From strategic management to technical management and throughout the various departments, effective communication is a challenge for all of us. No matter what your goal is and no matter what your strategy, a good communications plan is the key factor for success. Topics of discussion, include:
- Adapting your style depending on level of understanding (or interest)
- Using standardization as a proactive approach
- Communications throughout a project cycle
Join this interactive discussion, share your stories and take home some ideas.
As Chief Operating Officer of RelianceNet, Raj S. Leyl, MBA, PMP, has a dual focus on high-level strategic issues and also hands-on project management. Leyl has over 15 years of IT and project management experience, seven of which were spent implementing operational processes to support Project Management Offices (PMO) at organizations such as American Airlines, Avis, State of Maryland Judiciary, and Mentor Technologies. Amy holds a Bachelors of Arts (BA) from Messiah College in Communications, brings a mix of
Fortune 500 and entrepreneurial experience and believes in a strong balance of standardization
and fast innovation.
