Ambiguity fudge

(from a large public organisation - "X")

Caution: for internal consumption only

Original:

"The purpose of this document is to set out a corporately-agreed plan of activity and the management arrangements to ensure X's external communication in relation to these projects is co-ordinated and supports the delivery of these schemes." (38 words)

Problem:

What improves "X's external communication"? Do the activity plan and the management arrangements jointly improve it, or do the arrangements do all the work?

Low saturated word content:

"This document sets out X's plan and management arrangements, to help make our external communication co-ordinated and effective." (18 words)

Or:

"This document sets out X's plan, and management arrangements to help make our external communication co-ordinated and effective." (18 words)
