Episode 209 - Change Management: Communicating Change

“Organisation’s don’t change, people do” – a phrase mentioned in our recent chat we had with today’s guest, as we thrashed out what we’d be speaking about on this very episode. And it’s a phrase that outlines how to make successful change happen, and just how important it is to have your people as your focus.

And what do your people need most during a change process? Not to give away too much of this episode...but you guessed it...the answer is communication.
