But if you want the client to really understand, you might have to rephrase that information in simpler terms. بالتاكيد, you don’t want to focus too much on potential problems. And for that reason you should know how to redirect a discussion away from problems and toward other issues. فمثلا, you might need to ask the client for important information to get the project started.

في حوار اليوم, we’ll rejoin Martin and Jill. Their company, OptiTech, is starting a new project to develop software for a logistics company. Martin and Jill are kicking off the project by holding a teleconference with Zara, the manager of the client company, وليام, مدير تكنولوجيا المعلومات لديهم.

Welcome back to Business English Pod for our new series on اللغة الإنجليزية لإدارة المشاريع. For our first lesson we’re going to look at a kickoff meeting at the start of a project.

Whether or not you’re a project manager, you surely know that every project is a unique and complex process. Seeing a project through to completion, on time and within budget, takes a huge range of people skills and business know-how. And sometimes during a big project it might feel like everything is working against successful completion.

But there are ways to minimize some of these challenges. This is particularly true at the beginning of a project when it’s important to make sure you get off to a good start. لأجل شئ واحد, you’ll need to meet with the client to make sure the ground rules of the project are clear. غير ذلك, you’ll be dealing with confusion mid-project. Kicking off a project effectively also means outlining protocols, or important procedures, and explaining lines of communication. بعد كل شيء, when a problem or challenge does arise, everyone should know exactly who to talk to and how to make the necessary changes.

The kickoff meeting is also a time for everyone to make their priorities clear. If you are the client and sticking to the timeline is more important than keeping to the budget, you should make that known right from the start. بالتاكيد, there may be competing priorities. And as a project manager, you may have to manage client expectations carefully, which might involve setting some conditions when you agree to something.

في حوار اليوم, we’ll join Martin and Jill, who work for a software company called OptiTech. Their company is holding a teleconference to kick off a project to develop custom software for a logistics company that will help them manage and track shipments. Martin is the project manager, while Jill is the lead developer.

مرحبًا بكم مرة أخرى في اللغة الإنجليزية للأعمال لدرس اليوم حول رصف اللغة الإنجليزية متعلق ب implementing a plan.

Everyone knows that you have to plan for the future. But many “plans” are only that: they are just plans. But a plan is only useful if it leads to action. أو, as a wise man once said: a plan without action is a dream wasted. In order to not waste that dream, we need to implement the plans we create.

في درس اليوم, we’ll hear a discussion about how to implement a marketing plan. And you’ll hear lots of common expressions we use when talking about implementation. These expressions are called “collocations,” which just means a set of words that usually go together. فمثلا, have you heard the expression “put something into action?” That’s a common collocation that means “to implement.” We don’t say “make something into action” or “activate something.” It’s always “put something into action.”

You can learn these natural combinations of words used by native speakers. Studying رصف اللغة الإنجليزية will help you sound more natural and expand your active vocabulary. بينما تستمع إلى حوار اليوم, try to catch some of these collocations, and we’ll go over them later in the debrief.

في مربع الحوار, we’ll rejoin Carlos, Viv, Byron, and Marion, who are discussing how to implement a marketing plan. In the last lesson, they talked about some of their online marketing activities. اليوم, they’re going to talk about some other parts of the plan, including the timeline.

أسئلة الاستماع

2. What does Carlos say about the importance of the CRM?

مرحبًا بكم مرة أخرى في اللغة الإنجليزية للأعمال لدرس اليوم حول رصف اللغة الإنجليزية related to implementing a plan.

في الاعمال, good planning is important, whether you’re talking about a long-term strategy or a short-term project. But a plan itself means nothing without action. It’s not what you decide to do that matters, but what you actually do. And what you actually do with a plan is called “implementation.” Implementing a plan is all about deciding who will do what, and when they will do it.

في هذا الدرس, we’ll listen in on a meeting about how to implement a marketing plan. خلال المناقشة, you’ll hear lots of useful expressions that we call “collocations.” A collocation is a natural combination or group of words. فمثلا, I’ve already used the collocation “to implement a plan.” We don’t say “do a plan” or “activate a plan.” The natural expression is “to implement a plan.”

Native speakers use collocations like this automatically, and you can learn to use them as well. By studying رصف اللغة الإنجليزية, ستحسن مفرداتك وستبدو أكثر طلاقة. بينما تستمع إلى الحوار, حاول انتقاء بعض هذه التجميعات وسنناقشها لاحقًا في الاستخلاص.
