OK, you have a plan, but how to communicate it without any ambiguity and as crisply as possible ? Perhaps we can learn from the military – they use the acronym SMEAC to communicate and direct action.
SITUATION: ….where are we, what’s happening ?
MISSION: ….what are our goals, what’s our purpose ?
EXECUTION: ….here’s what I want you to do
ADMINISTRATION: ….specifics: who’s going to do what, how you’ll work together, what supplies will be needed, and how you’ll get them
COMMAND AND CONTROL: ….what to communicate, when, how to do it, what authority you have if you can’t ask.
It gives me confidence using a technique that’s proven on battlefields all over the world !
