What are the most important components used to formulate a high-quality communication plan?

The ACMP Standard states that a strong communication plan is built on three critical inputs:

Change impact assessment (defines what will change and who is impacted).

Organizational change readiness assessment (measures preparedness to receive messages).

Stakeholder analysis (identifies audiences and influencers).

Customer input (A, D) and operational strategies (C) may provide context, but they are not the

essential core inputs. Option B matches ACMP guidance for communication planning.

readiness assessment, and stakeholder analysis.)
