Supporting Organizational Change through Communications

Consistent messaging also helps to inform and persuade key organizational stakeholders, encourage desired behavioral change, and address areas of resistance to change initiatives. Effective messaging also helps build acceptance and readiness for new systems and organizational structures, a key factor in the success of major ERP (enterprise resource planning) rollouts.

For your change initiatives to succeed, you need to know how your target audiences are responding to important communications. Chatfield consultants can assess whether your key messages are being interpreted correctly and help you clarify your messages, as needed.
