minutes of their time in any one contact (unless they agree to more time).

People with information: to gather information about the problem
and/or solution, receive feedback as you work on the project, anything else
you feel is relevant

People other than decision makers who will
receive your report or attend your presentation: to influence a broader audience

What
are the needs and interests of each of your communications contacts?
Determine the needs and interests of each
contact (audience). What will be important to these receivers, and how will you
ensure that your report addresses these needs? (review section 2.4 and 3.1 of

Stick to your purpose when you contact them.
