Hello,
TechWare recently secured a government contract for $10 million to develop state-of-the-art internet security software. As an integral part of this new contract, the company has plans to obtain ProTech. ProTech is a small information technology (IT) company that specializes in firewall and internet security software. ProTech is a privately owned business founded in 2000 in Manhattan, Kansas, and typically contracts out its 18 remote employees to small businesses across the central United States.
As a result of this acquisition, your company will go through several changes including a name change as well as changes to the marketing and sales departments. Please see the attachment for more information.
The acquisition will take place over the next nine months, which provides our department with sufficient time to inform and prepare stakeholders at various levels of the organization of the changes.
Communication planning occurs prior to these changes. In your role, you are responsible for developing a timeline and strategies to communicate changes to various levels of the organization. HR will have a meeting with TechWare's board of directors to present your plan for managing change in the organization. For our presentation, please develop a plan for communicating changes to the three levels of the organization and articulate the steps you plan to take to follow and ensure the information is received the way you intended it.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
James
