Collect what exists.

List channels, regular messages, owners and audiences. Gather examples from the last few months.

Ask employees.

Run short interviews and a pulse survey in different roles and locations. Ask what they read, what they trust and what they miss.

Turn findings into a plan.

Group findings into keep, fix, stop and start. Pick a handful of changes and measure them.
