Why do a Global Communications Audit?
See if you can answer the following questions about your Global Communication initiatives:
•Are you listening to your global audience and addressing their concerns?
•Do you have control over your global brand identity and messaging while maintaining flexibility to adapt for local needs?
•Do you develop global communications using the best possible vehicles and styles to reach, inform and inspire your global audience, taking into account your budget and resources?
•Do you know if you are investing your communication dollars wisely, and whether you can achieve better returns if you make changes, and how?
•Are your processes for delivering content for global communications repeatable and outcomes for quality, time and cost, predictable?
•How do you measure the contribution that global communication has to the overall success of the organization?
