Interview: Organizational Communication and Strategies

Using your organizational chart from Week Four, identify an individual who may have knowledge and experience implementing communication strategies and make preparations to interview this person. The subject of the interview should center on organizational communication and strategies that determine what, when, and how information is communicated in the organization.

Create a list of questions and topics that you want to discuss during your interview, and submit them to your instructor for approval.

Interview the person you have selected. If permitted, record an audio or video file of the interview. If this is not possible, take notes during the interview and write out a transcript.

Note: The interview can be conducted in person, over the phone, or through an online conferencing application (e.g., Skype, WebEx, or video chat).

Create a 2- to 3-minute video summary about the interview and what was discussed. Appraise communication strategies utilized in your organization and share any insight you gained on how the process can be improved.

Note: Present yourself as if you are reporting back to your employer. Be sure to wear professional attire.
