Case Study Questions
- What communication challenges did the PAU project team anticipate?
From the case study we came to know about various communication challenges which are anticipated by PAU project team like:
- The rural farming community is so careless, they did not care about the chemicals which they used it for farming either it is so harmful or not
- The chemicals which farmers are using in the farming their manufacturers, are not giving complete and clear information about the chemicals.
- The target audience or we can say farmers they just have limited or none access to communication media.
- How did the project team prepare to meet the communication challenges?
To attain their target objectives the PAU project manager makes a communication plan for the target audience that includes both internal and external stakeholders. The key internal stakeholders included the PAU project team and project sponsor PAU administration and external stakeholders included the target farming community and for achieving these they make multiple communication channels so that everyone understand their objective.
- Assuming the number of stakeholders in the communication loop to be 1,000, how many communication channels existed among those stakeholders?
The formula for calculating communication challenges is
N (N-1)/2
Where, N= Number of stakeholders
Here number of stakeholders is 1000. So,
1000(1000-1)/2=499,500.
- Describe the communication channels used by the PAU project team.
There are various communication channels used by PAU project team like:
- Written Communications: this is one of the kind of communication channel which include flyers, press releases sent to TV, radio and newspapers some printed information sent to farmers and many mare.
- Internet: project page on social media, project blog for all stakeholder collaboration, and making a website which include all information about chemicals.
- Television, Radio: advertisement
- Face to Face: some sort of awareness meetings so that all farmers feel motivated and get to know about all the harmful properties of chemicals, training and coaching to all target audience.
- What lessons did you learn from this case?
As, from this case study we learn many lessons like:
- How to spread awareness among the rural people about the proper use of pesticides and fertilizers in the farming so that it will not be harmful.
- How to select an appropriate format or channel to deliver the message with minimization of communication barriers.
- Last but not least for making any project successful project manager have to find their objectives which are so important and then according to objectives they have to make their target audience which have directly connected to the concern.
