Practical and project centred Project relationships are often difficult to manage. If a system is to function well, it must be built on realities, not rhetoric   Communications considerations are addressed through practical involvement in project activity. Types of involvement include:       O Pre-project assessments: Local conflicts of interest and levels of opposition or support can have significant cost implications and seriously impact on project deliverability. We advise on potential issues so that these can be taken into consideration from the outset.       O   Project set-up: Differences in the working processes of the various sectors involved can cause increasing problems as work progresses. We work with all relevant parties to establish communications structures and agree project communications protocols at the outset.       O   Negotiation management: We work with key players to help unlock a situation and to help ensure a project doesn't founder because of misunderstandings and unnecessarily entrenched oppositional positions.       O   Project coordination: This typically includes monitoring project communications and information management via an appropriate online Management Information System, identifying potential risks as they arise and working on risk mitigation strategies with relevant parties.       O   Community inclusion: We liaise with local partnerships and organisations to set up appropriate information flows between the project team and the wider community, we plan community consultations and advise on ways to maximise wider project and community benefits.
