Stage five builds on previous activities to share information about Integrated Plan implementation and progress with key stakeholders, and communicate with broader audiences as appropriate. In this stage, jurisdictions have the opportunity to synthesize data and present information in the most appropriate format based on the needs of the audience. Jurisdictions may develop infographics, other visuals, and briefs tailored to communicate key messages and progress to diverse groups or partners.
While Integrated Plans include a great deal of information needed to guide a jurisdictions' ongoing activities, they often contain more information than stakeholders may require in a presentation. Consider creating a succinct, visual summary to synthesize Integrated Plan activities and effectively communicate progress.
It is important to update and share Integrated Plan implementation progress regularly to planning bodies and other stakeholders. Communication on plan progress includes highlighting successes, identifying challenges in implementation, and recommending modifications to plan activities.
