a comprehensive communication dialogue with impacted people
at eye level.
This tailor-made
communication includes specific

thanks to authentic behaviour and
engagement.

Guarantee...

that agile competencies are
mastered in order
to find solutions fast
in case of external changes.

Make sure...

that change is not only communicated
but also trained!
Impacted people need to understand,
experience and feel the change.
Ideally, this happens in protected
environments with sufficient time
to visualise the change through
demonstrations.
Allow time for
repetitions
as this is key to internalise
a new behaviour.

Educate...

HR and/or Change Managers
about the market environment,
products and the deal strategy

in order to help them contribute
to core processes and think
in terms of value, costs and
benefits.
