We can help you understand the change journey, build a strategy that engages people and delivers business results.
Change is never “business as usual”. Whether it’s a shift in government policy, business restructuring or internal culture, it comes with risk to productivity, brand, reputation, and most importantly, to key relationships that affect trust.
Change can bring an organisation renewed success, but it can also cause friction within an organisation that can hamper these changes. Our communication professionals are here to help you develop a change communication strategy for your organisation to help you navigate this often uncertain period.
The importance of change communication
It’s a natural instinct for people to resist change. Even when they’re open to it, they need to know what’s happening and how it will affect them and the organisation. However, communicating effectively requires a greater focus and effort, particularly from leaders who play a greater role during times of change.
An organisational change management strategy must start with clear, focused communication that is meaningful to the audience. As an important prerequisite, employees must clearly understand the business. When employees are familiar with the business environment and the strategic direction, they will also recognise the necessity for change and support it.
We’ll work with you to determine the change readiness of your organisation and how to assess any inherent risks, the role of leaders, and how to build change communication competence in your organisation.
