Message and metaphor are critical to communicating the big picture. Misalignment of strategy and capability create conflict. Improper partitioning, oversimplification, and misunderstanding relationships between the planning elements lead to complexity errors. Reduction of tasks and responsibilities to the elemental level are crucial for team success. Complexity affects perception of the plan and its ability to be implemented.
Plans are themselves a communication tool and process.
Poor communication channels affect implementation effectiveness. Communication is complex a mixture of verbal, visual, auditory, and non-verbal elements. People are integral to the process they are the intellectual capital that drives tasks and deliverables. Effective teams build upon mutual understanding, cohesiveness, and shared goals. People are the most complex variable in the planning equation.
