To deliver change, your people need total clarity on what your organisation is trying to achieve, how they can contribute and what they need to stop doing. That means having a robust, well-planned approach to communication and engagement.
We work closely with you to create a high-impact internal communications plan to bring change to life for your entire workforce.
The result? Real understanding and meaningful shifts in behaviour as people let go of their old ways of working and embrace the new.
Our approach to creating lasting change
We know how important it is to ensure that the whole organisation – from shop floor to top floor – buys into the change. With 30 years’ experience in change management, communication and engagement, we make that happen for leading organisations across the globe.
We guide you step-by-step through the communication planning process:
- Engaging key stakeholders and employees at all levels – the foundation of effective change management.
- Crafting compelling messages that address the why, what, and how of the change.
- Designing effective communication tools to reach diverse target audiences, engaging both heads and hearts in equal measure.
Bringing change to life in your organisation
For some organisations, communicating major change could involve creating a Big Picture – using a powerful visual analogy and business storytelling to unite people behind shared goals. For others, an interactive conference or roadshow might be the mainstay of the campaign, energising the workforce and building momentum. Involving your colleagues in the co-creation of your collective ambition is another sure-fire way to drive-up engagement.
However you choose to approach it, we’ll guide you in selecting the right messages, tools and measuring the impact of your communication and engagement. This often includes benchmarking your current employee experience so you can see exactly what’s working and where to focus next.
Once the plan is in place, we’re here to help you execute it; moving your people confidently through the change curve with sound change-management support, so they embrace new ways of working.
