In this talk, we'll cover:

• Why DG communication is important at all stages from program kick-off to business-as-usual
• Different types of DG communication
• 5 Components of CLEAR communication with examples to use in your own organization
  • Creative, Lingo-free, Efficient, Applicable and Regular
