With all of the duties you perform in your busy work schedule, and the perpetual staff and organizational changes, how do you keep executives, managers, and other employees up to date with organizational information?

You can start by creating new organization charts and by ensuring that the information in your current organization charts is accurate and well organized. You can also use data and features in existing files to automatically create and update your charts.

When your charts are updated and organized, use them to generate reports. To increase the effectiveness of your charts and graphs, add annotations to them. For example, add callouts to show where changes might occur, or add notes to give more details about an item. Finally, instead of duplicating the data, export it from your charts to another file.
