Proactive communication (Civic Engagement) can provide people and organizations a means to integrate, organize, and promote information. Within organizations proactive communication increases the chances for success, improves morale and motivates people, promotes shared responsibilities, integrates business units, and is a foundational component for proficient business practices for effective government. In the case of government agencies, Civic Engagement is essential and with the mantra of “do more with less” this vital engagement across departments and with constituents will determine success or failure. Government agencies need to have well-ordered work processes in order to communicate their desired results.
