This document outlines essential components, including business objectives, strategy documents, editorial calendars, tone of voice guidelines, channel matrices, stakeholder maps, and internal branding resources. It emphasizes the importance of aligning communication efforts with corporate mission, purpose, and vision, while providing templates for leadership guidance and performance measurement. By identifying potential gaps in existing communication infrastructure, the checklist enables IC teams to better organize their output, streamline operations, and develop a more cohesive cultural narrative within their respective organizations. The guide also encourages exploring advanced areas such as change management, employee value propositions, and employer branding, ensuring that communication strategies are scalable and culturally relevant.",{"@graph":63,"@context":119},[64,80,102],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":36,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/forms/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/brilliant-basics-checklist-internal-communications-strategy/351876/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/brilliant-basics-checklist-internal-communications-strategy/351876.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"Ophelia","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-16","2026-09-22",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":101},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",8,{"@type":103,"mainEntity":104},"FAQPage",[105,111,115],{"name":106,"@type":107,"acceptedAnswer":108},"What
