BlueLeaf’sCommunication…

Is not working.

And for the ﬁrst time…

They might misstheir numbers.

To get a sense of howthings are going…

Clive begins discussionswith the workforce.

He speaks to Adrian and learns: •  Adrian doesn’t understand the company direction. •  Adrian doesn’t understand how critical his work is. •  Adrian doesn’t understand what other departments or coworkers do. 56

Clive has discussions with People Managers He starts with Jane and learns: •  Her team doesn’t understand company direction. •  Her team doesn’t understand what other departments do. •  Many of them spend too much time on updates and status reports. •  They want to be strategic but many are overwhelmed. 57

Clive continuesdiscussions with theWorkforce

This is a company-wide issue Change starts with him: •  BlueLeaf’s communication methods are not working •  Employees need to understand what other departments are working toward. •  BlueLeafers need to understand their work impact 60

“Hmm…”

“What if there were away….”

… “…to communicate goals and progress across the company?” 63

…And What if… “…every employee could see what we are working toward?” 64

…And What If… “…we gave Feedback and Recognition based on Results and goal progress?” 65

BlueLeaf decided to…

ImplementSocial Goals
