Course has been about meeting the criteria for each assignment and conforming to an expected timeframe; also known as project management and time management. This approach provides the framework for working within constraints of a business environment.
Once you get into the business/government/non-profit world you will be expected to comply with the organization's "way of doing things" which means you will need to focus on Why/What/How/Who should be included in successfully meeting the project or program goals. There will also be a time management requirement, that is the "When" will the project be due. This time management of "When" may include incremental milestones as well as a final expected due date.
Administrative Communication is more than writing reports or newsletters. It is about accurately communicating why the organization has certain program goals, what is going on in the organization, how the programs will be implement, and who will be responsible for different aspects of the program. All of these elements are controlled by when the expected program will meet its milestones.
The ICA has been designed to be a capstone for the administrative communication techniques presented in the course.
