FY27 Communications Roadmap and Planning Documents

This is our FY27 Communications Roadmap + Narrative.

It provides an overview of what we’re trying to accomplish this year, a framework for how we make decisions, key themes and our overall approach. A note that it’s iterative. (Like our culture - so you might see things like comments in the doc, and new revisions). It provides a flexible framework for decision-making, ensuring alignment, accountability, and adaptability.

Regular reviews will refine strategies to keep the plan effective and relevant.

Our communications and marketing team works on the PESO model to build integrated communications and marketing plans.

You can find a template and some explanation of that here.
