Centralized Communication worked well for a simple project where I used all the user information, data, communication type standards, and templates in one network, and my team leveraged it from time to time.

Decentralized communication worked well in complex projects where I had different regions (different policies/regulations, languages), and processes involved. Then, I had to customize my communication approach, template, language, and standards in various networks. That leads to successful accomplishment and maximizes the value of the business.
