communications involves a primary consideration to foster mutual understanding in achieving consensus among the personnel as well as cooperation between personnel and the outsourced technical team. The consideration is familiarity and sensitivity to the non-verbal expressions of personnel and members of the technical team. (Van Riel 1995; Prusak 1997; Simonsen 2001) In the case of the personnel of Dawson’s Automobiles, they have been working together for some time, which gives them the opportunity to become familiar with each other’s non-verbal expressions. This is important in achieving consensus and organizing communications and ideas to achieve objectives. In the case of the technical team, the project spans six months, which gives both personnel and the technical team to interact and develop familiarity with non-verbal expressions to support easier communication of technical language.
