what is external-operational communication?

Answer 1

1. To review all current external operational communications policies and submit recommendations to the Board for changes and additions.
2. This review will include findings of the Strategic Planning Process as it relates to this committee
3. To identify and evaluate the effectiveness of the Association’s external communications to its target partners as identifies in the Association’s Framework Statement. This review will include member surveys within the profession as well as sample programs of other provincial associations and professional groups.
4. To develop recommendations to the Board for a plan of external communications that meets the needs of both the members and the target partners.
5. To implement, monitor and evaluate an external communications program
6. To prepare an annual operating plan including a budget
7. To prepare a written report for each board meeting relating to progress
towards stated goal s and objectives and budget spent.
8. To prepare an annual committee report for the Annual General Meeting
9. To prepare a yearly evaluation of the subcommittee’s accomplishment of
these terms of reference, recommending changes and amendments for the
following year.

Answer 2

Simple.
All communication in a company is internal. Everything else is external. Operational means it is needed to operate. Like calling a plumber.... hmm maybe not that but you get the idea.

It depends on the culture of a company what is considered external- operational but mostly all non internal communication regarding the business you are in is considered that. Some include customers, some exclude them.

Answer 3

Let me throw in 2 cents... Regarding your first question, suppose you have a difference amplifier. Ideally, if In1 and In2 equal 0 volts, or equal 2 volts, or equal 5 volts, the output will still be 0 volts because the difference In2-In1 is zero. But real op amps aren't that perfect. The output voltage will change slightly as voltages In1 and In2 are raised and lowered *together*. So the common-mode voltage is considered to be the average of the two inputs, and the difference signal is considered to be the difference of the two inputs. CCMR is a measure of how well the amplifier's output *doesn't* respond to a change in the common-mode voltage. Regarding the second question, it helps to remember this principle. With an ideal op amp that has a resistive feedback connection (R2) from the output (OUT1) to the "-" input (at the op amp itself), the output will always drive in a direction that makes the voltage at the "-" terminal equal to the voltage at the "+" terminal. Couple that with the fact that no current flows into or out from the "-" and "+" inputs on an ideal op amp, and you can solve problems pretty easily: All current that flows through R1 also flows through R2. Same with R3 and R4. Usually R3=R1, and R4=R2. Under those conditions, voltages In1 and In2 may be referenced to a voltage other than common say -15V, but the op amp output will be referenced to whatever R4 is connected to, in this case common (0V). So it is a good way to shift the reference point of a differential voltage, as well as amplify it.
