Complexity and speed dominate today’s work environment, making internal communication and knowledge sharing crucial to meeting productivity requirements. Many organizations don’t unlock the potential of streamlining internal communication and knowledge sharing.
These challenges are not limited to a particular sector; they’re present in various private and public organizations, each with unique requirements and dynamics.
Challenges in internal communication
Efficient internal communication and knowledge sharing are crucial in any organization, helping to improve productivity and the work environment. Within the public sector, where procedures and policies often dictate the work process, inefficient communication can lead to delays and confusion, with serious consequences for the quality of service and the involvement of citizens.
Similar challenges appear in private organizations, where quick decisions and market reactions are necessary to maintain competitive abilities. But when vital information doesn’t reach relevant stakeholders, it’s not only bad for productivity but also harms the work environment.
Improved internal communication: The key to organizational success
In both the private and public sector, the need for improved internal communication is clear between departments such as HR, marketing, and sales, where coordinated action is a necessity.
At Plandisc, we’ve learned through conversations with our customers that misunderstandings between these departments often lead to duplication of effort and productivity loss. Each department or employee may row their own boat, but to achieve success, they have to sail the same ship.
This stresses the need for tools that facilitate and optimize internal communication.
Knowledge sharing as a part of the organization's communication strategy
Knowledge sharing is another crucial dimension of internal communication. It includes everything from formal structures to informal exchanges of information, both of which can improve the organization’s overall efficiency.
For example, public institutions can benefit from systematic knowledge sharing in their communication strategy. This ensures that all employees are up to date on the latest policies and procedures, while private organizations can use knowledge sharing to quickly spread the word about innovation and best practices.
Internal communication: Plandisc bridges the gap between departments
Internal communication is the bridge connecting the departments in the organization. With this bridge, teams will find it easier to work efficiently towards a mutual goal.
In this regard, the circular planner from Plandisc offers a solution that can efficiently address these challenges. With a visual and interactive planner, sharing plans and knowledge becomes easier and is integrated into daily work.
Plandisc makes it possible for organizations to create a transparent and accessible platform, where all necessary information is available for all employees, regardless of department.
By placing all necessary information in an interactive and dynamic setting, Plandisc reduces the communicative noise. Knowledge is not only stored but also actively and efficiently shared.
“We are a media company, placed on 30 different locations. Plandisc gives a good overview so the consultants don’t have to contact each other to know which themes are currently running in different areas. It’s easy and manageable.”
“In addition, all sales materials are located in the circular planner, so it’s easy for everyone to find, and it can inspire other departments. Our rescources are allocated better by having a good structure and the communication across the organization has become much more simple.”

The circular planner creates involvement and dialogue
According to Bjarne Rostbøll Christiansen, lecturer at CPH Business, reducing the gap between formal and informal communication is an essential part of solving inefficient internal communication.
The circular planner is a solution that brings, for example, management’s formal agendas closer to employees’ daily workflows. Plans from management are visible in the circular planner alongside departmental planning. By bringing these tracks closer, formal and informal communication will be more synchronized.
The circular planner can be integrated with Microsoft Teams or other tools, making strategic plans, daily workflows, and associated files accessible.
