An effective change communication strategy is essential to successfully orchestrate any change envisaged by leadership. The importance of strong communication is reiterated by statistics, which shows that 60% of all change projects fail because of a poor communication strategy.
An ineffective communication strategy impacts employee morale, causes undue stress and
relational breakdowns between the employers and the employees, often leading to the loss of critical resources.
Working with CXOs around the world has allowed us at Zinnov, to gain experience and expertise in the area of change communication and has enabled us to help organizations formulate an effective change communication strategy that involves four critical steps –
Step 1: Sort your workforce according to their criticality – Based on the skills and degree of transition required/projected time to transition
Step 2: Identify change managers – People who exude passion and can see the bigger picture, Help them understand the consequences of maintaining status quo
Step 3: Build credibility through transparency – Talk to employees and communicate the guiding ideals behind the proposed change
Step 4: Communicate at a micro level through change managers – Based on the workforce criticality analysis, to eliminate fear and surprises
