KommsKlinic_new+approach


 * In the new approach…**


 * We should give the possibility to organise training sessions for different kinds of audiences:**
 * Individuals or teams (Theme team, project team and/or department team – a list of these is available in appendix)
 * Different functions:
 * Scientists
 * Management
 * Comms specialists
 * General support staff
 * Different levels:
 * Beginners;
 * Advanced;
 * Administrators (e.g. for communication specialists to manage a wiki etc.)
 * Different information needs:
 * General awareness (strategic level or operational);
 * Hands-on practical use
 * Hands-on practical administration
 * Training of trainers (additional information about how to train others)
 * On demand or on supply (e.g. organising generic ‘refresh training on Yammer’)
 * The content of each training session should be tailored according to these three sets of factors.


 * **Session type** || **Potential audiences** ||
 * Awareness: strategic comms ‘big picture’ || Management, comms specialists, scientists ||
 * Awareness: knowledge sharing (approaches, e.g. event facilitation, presentation skills etc.) || Management, comms specialists, scientists ||
 * Awareness: knowledge sharing (tools, e.g. Yammer, Twitter, blogs, wikis etc.) || Any ||
 * Hands-on session: tools Yammer, Twitter, iGoogle etc. || Any ||
 * Advanced level Hands-on session: blogs, wikis || Scientists, comms specialists, support staff ||
