Tricia: We’ll continue to use the blog and we have a Ning site for communicators. Traditional email and list serves will also be used. I think the key to success at NC State will be everyone’s willingness to work together. We’re developing our strategic communications plan together. We’ll develop logo guidelines together. We’ll create a blueprint for our branding together. As far as “enforcement” is concerned, I believe that will come from the top. We’ll have a new chancellor early next year (2010) and he or she will provide the final direction. So stay tuned. More information to come on the blog.

Hi there…I’ve been following your posts with interest, especially those around STATE COMM. we currently have a large group of key communicators from across campus that meet monthly and work on projects and issues together (though that is more informal). Do you have plans yet for how you will communicate out the strategies, guidelines, and expectations to communicators across campus? and then how you will monitor for success (I’m assuming that will be judged by people ‘complying’…a word I don’t like but can’t think of a better one right now)? large state u’s with decentralized communications structures can be wonderful and vexing all at once. lots and lots of great talent, everyone working for the good of the U, but sometimes not on the same page about how to get there.
