The capacity to change is of vital importance to organisations. Unfortunately, many organisational changes do not run smoothly. The main reason? Employees often don’t understand why change is necessary. If you don’t understand the why behind a change, you’re not likely to commit to it and you may even resist.
We help to involve your organisation’s employees in the change. By enabling them to participate in formulating the story about the change. Whether it’s a change in culture, an agile implementation or a merger: we help to activate change by increasing engagement.
We help senior managers and change managers to:
Organise basecamp sessions
Every change starts with an overview. Over the course of a few creative sessions we identify target groups, formulate a clear vision of change and integrate everything in a visual communication plan.
Create Personas and Change Journeys
A large-scale change does not mean the same to everyone involved. By distinguishing target groups as personas and journeys, we make the change more personal and also more profound.
Generate impactful activation work
Using co-creation workshops, we engage everyone in the process of thinking critically about what the change is going to mean. And how the change is going to affect their day-to-day activities.
Create communication that lands
Repeat, repeat, repeat. To achieve a successful change, you have to tell the change story repeatedly. Images, videos, worksheets and toolkits which are visible in your working environment will safeguard the process.
Co-create the story behind the change
Make every employee an ambassador!- Previous
- Next
Hear it, believe it, live it
Using a combination of workshops and distinct communication design, we can ensure everyone is on the same page:
- Hear it – people need to see the bigger picture and hear the entire story behind the change you envision.
- Believe it – they need to translate and implement the essence from this bigger picture in their daily work activities. And they need to understand what their role is in the change.
- Live it – finally, people will adjust their own working practices to the vision. They will encourage colleagues to change and they will become ambassadors for the new culture.
