What is transformational change?
It’s a big change that goes beyond
the day-to-day.
A radical shift in the way an organisation operates and that normally has a big effect on the people who work there.
Delivering transformational change could be about getting a shiny new structure in place, landing a brilliant new strategy, or introducing new ways of doing things, new systems or processes. It might be an office relocation, going through a merger or floating on the stock exchange.
Transformational change may be happening because of something that’s out of your control, like regulatory changes or the need to innovate to stay competitive, or the need to push the envelope with technology.
Whatever the reason for transformational change it can have an unsettling effect on employees – and uncertainty and resistance to change may pose challenges.
So straight talking and clear communication are absolutely key to successful transformational change. With our wealth of experience and highly skilled team, you’ll be supported every step of the way.
How can change communication help support transformational change in my organisation?
Change can be daunting.
When transformational change is happening, internal communication can provide a corridor of calm. It’s often not that employees don’t like change, it’s that they don’t like the way change is happening to them. So communicate change well and your employees are in the know, prepared and understanding of how the change will affect them.
What exactly is important when communicating transformational change?
Communicating a clear vision for strategic transformational change will mean employees understand the thinking behind it, where the organisation is trying to get to and what it means for them as individuals, their colleagues and peers.
Leadership is there to lead the line in all of this with clear and easily digestible internal communications.
Allowing for regular opportunities for two-way communication means people can discuss and question the changes, download their thoughts and feelings and talk through anything that may be bothering them.
Consistency of messaging is essential in change communications – everything needs to work in concert. So stopping any mixed messages in their tracks and breathing clarity and consistency into comms is the way through transformational change.
