01 Project Launch (sent from Client Leadership)

Before DORIS sends any communication directly to participants, a client leader should announce the project internally. Championing their participation at a high level increases the likelihood of engagement and a successful project.

  • The timing and delivery of this information may be discussed during the sales process, in liaison meetings, or during Project Alignment.
  • The DORIS team member who is closest to the conversation should send template language to the liaison or executive contact.
  • This message should go out two weeks before Kickoff Meetings begin or as soon as possible.

Directions

Justification for Client LT Sending Initial Email

Justification for having leaders champion and announce the project
Alignment and Clarity: Communicating the initiative ensures that all employees are on the same page regarding goals, strategies, and expectations. It prevents confusion and misinterpretation that can arise when information is not disseminated uniformly.

Engagement and Buy-In: By involving all participants from the outset, executives can foster a sense of ownership and inclusion. When employees feel that their input and participation matter, they are more likely to be engaged and committed to the initiative's success.

Accountability: When executives make a public announcement, it establishes a level of accountability for the project's success. Employees are more likely to take their roles and responsibilities seriously when they know their efforts are being monitored and valued.

Cohesion and Teamwork: Announcements promote a sense of unity and teamwork among employees. They understand that they are part of a collective effort, which can lead to better collaboration and a more positive workplace culture.
