Internal Communication as a key competency of Customer Centricity and Custome...Alexander Stoter
Explanation of what Internal Communication as a Competency is. Two central concepts are at stake. Communication Culture and Information Richness. Both represent two dimensions of Communication in Organization. Communication Culture is how people interact with each other within Organization, how Disciplines and departures of a company work together, how meaning and content is developed while people interact. Information Richness is the hard part of Communication focusing on the quality of Information, the process of transmission and exchange, and what is done with the information. These two dimensions are dominating the state of interaction capabilities a Company has which is for instance important to manage, design and realize relevant Customer Experience, based on relationships model instead of transaction model. Since Internal is External. And companies cannot improve Customer Experiences and Relations without improving skills and capabilities in the Internal Organization. Employees are your first Customers.
Companies are very good at pointing out the main business problems and challenges. It can be lack of certainty or clear objectives, effectiveness, not moving fast enough, prioritizing etc. We here at Weekdone brought out the 10 most common business challenges and offered fixes that have worked successfully in the past.

Digital Workplace Case Study: How the Municipality of Duffel successfully swi...Patrick Van Renterghem
In 6 months time, the Gemeente/Municipality of Duffel has come quite close to transform into a forceful, digital local government thanks to the help of Synergics
These past few years have accelerated changes and disrupted how companies lead, enable, empower, and engage around communications. Leaders in corporate communications, human resources, and IT are all tackling new responsibilities and challenges in connecting with employees who no longer regularly share the same workspace and may be overwhelmed with increased communication volume, velocity, and variety.
We have been catapulted into a new employee experience paradigm, and it can be challenging to get our bearings. We now need to plan for the future, but it can be hard to consider the future when the present is filled with unique and pressing communication challenges. Yet, the future of communication may hold answers to problems we are experiencing today; it may inspire us to change and, perhaps most importantly, enable us to understand how to prepare to embrace a better one.
We have gathered leading industry experts on employee communications, intranets, the digital workplace, and employee experience to help us navigate the years ahead. Join James Robertson, a Step Two global thought leader and author on digital employee experience, Suzie Robinson, author of the popular ClearBox employee experience platforms report, and Richard Harbridge, a celebrated Microsoft MVP, as they share insight on how to better understand, leverage, and prepare for the future of employee communications.

A Super Solution Integrator Drives Business Outcomes by Orchestrating TechnologyInsight
Today, agility through digital transformation is a business imperative — but many organizations struggle to succeed. In this SlideShare, we’ll cover some of the core concepts explored in our free whitepaper, “A Super Solution Integrator Drives Business Outcomes by Orchestrating Technology” and walk through the digital transformation story — from the ideal scenario to the common reality.
Digital transformation requires complex systems integration with modern IT solutions. Most organizations don’t have the skills or transformation experience in-house to manage a large-scale IT initiative. Alternatively, organizations will turn to outside partners for help — but managing multiple vendors across a fragmented IT environment creates its own set of challenges; integration problems, an expanding security footprint and no centralized strategy over the full project scope.
Partnering with a super solution integrator can be the difference between success and failure by helping you overcome IT transformation challenges with a robust digital transformation strategy and experience.
But what is a ‘super solution integrator’?
In this SlideShare, you’ll learn why traditional systems integrators are evolving into a Super Solution Integrator (SSI) — and how this end-to-end partner is driving meaningful business outcomes.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Editor's Notes
Just imagine it is decided to implement SAP and you are involved/ in charge of the successful roll-out
If that is the case, how many of you recently heard the following phrases:
SAP is not the solution to our problem
SAP is too complex
IT does not understand what we need
It is clear that any change that is poorly communicated, will lack impact and may decrease the user adoption
This will ultimately result into a low ‘return on change investment’!
How many people in your company know why and when you are implementing SAP?
Do you think it is important that they know why the company is doing this?
Do you think it is important they know how to work with SAP?
Today internal communication is clearly on your agenda great!
I will show you how communication helps to build an engaging climate by creating and supporting project ambassadors
If you look at this quote from Kotter and you are responsible for a change initiative I can image you get nervous now! I will tell you how we can help you not to be part of the 70% that fail.
Today I will bring you an anonymous case where you will discover the ins and outs of a change communication strategy of an SAP implementation (in a company) in a production environment across different locations in Europe and US.
You will learn how they took control of their core messages and succeeded in creating good project ambassadors.
Here you see a rough timeline of the project linked to the different impacted target groups. These are the people we are doing it for!
Nowadays everyone realises more or less communication towards end-users (who need to adopt the system) is very important. We agree, but also think that key-stakeholders are often neglected.
We think you should address 2 main groups: end users and key stakeholders;
At our customer, the key stakeholders consisted of the steerco members, global and local management, business process owners and the key users. This was a very diverse stakeholder group, spread internationally, coming from different areas such as production, HR and finance and functioning, sitting in different positions from local administrator to C-level.
They were heavily involved during the preparation phase. They needed to work closely together during blue print and realisation phase, they did not always know each other did they have the same interest at heart. Still, it was important to make them collaborate more
Besides, they also needed to grow from technical and/or business expert into ambassadors.
From the start it was clear we needed to invest time in building a real project team, building communication flows and increasing their communication skills !
2/End-user not very far after the efforts for key-stakeholders (way before the rollout) we started communicating quite early towards the end users.
Global SAP implementation in fast growing organization in transition. the company used SAP as the first step in standardizing and aligning different sites on different levels (processes, finances).
As processes and organisational flows changed The impact on key stakeholders and end-users was tremendous
We wanted to transform the key stakeholders into one project team with a clear ambassadors role.
Together with the customer we determined the following goals for communication:
Increase awareness everyone knows about the SAP project
… and understanding by positioning the SAP implementation as beneficial to the company but also to all the employees
Increase support and commitment
For all: Increase the adoption of SAP
For key stakeholders:
Create communication flows between the various key stakeholders: Steerco, BPO, (Super)key users to involve and align them
Arm key user and BPO’s to be good ambassadors
Create sense of belonging by building one core team
In a nutshell this is the reaction we wanted
The biggest risk was that the key stakeholders would become negative ambassador and eventually infect the end-users.
SAP comes on top of the daily work. Key users and BPO’s may not have the drive and mindset for change nor the time to train their skills (communication, Sap, change)
HOW DO WE WORK in general but also in this project?
We used the following phased approach
First we have we understand the project and how it fits in to the strategy and culture of the company. Secondly we have a look at all the different stakeholders, and try to capture and understand any resistance they could have against the project.
Environment and stakeholder analyses are usually based on documents provided by the client as well as a series of interviews / workshops with the project team AND RELEVANT KEY PLAYERS.
Thirdly we have to define the core messages of the project. Based on these messages we may decided to develop a separate concept with a separate project name, baseline and brand if relevant.
During different phases we use different tools. One of the tools we also used in this project is the Message House tool.
The main goal of the message house is to ensure consistent messaging in a project:
People will talk about projects anyhow
If you do not set and take control of your core messages, employees will set theirs!
Through a ‘Message House Workshop’, the umbrella statement and sub-messaging of the proposed change are determined and aligned with the different target groups
For example the umbrella statement for this project was: SAP connect for our success
One of the submessages for
SAP supports the building of a sustainable company
And SAP Strengthens our networked organization
Those core messages can also be used as the basis of the story of your change, which is called a case for change. a kind of 2-minute elevator pitch, which everyone involved in the project should be able to tell.
After understanding the project, setting the communication goals, understanding the target groups and defining the messages we build the communication strategy and tangible communication plan.
This plan consists of the right intensity of communication efforts to each type of stakeholder.
A communication kit is built and advice is given on a rollout communication plan.
At a certain point in time it is very important to measure the success of you plan and to adapt if necessary.
Let’s get back to our case. Our change communication strategy contained 3 different main communication flows
1/Frequent communication to key stakeholders because they had an extra role as teammember and as ambassador
2/Detailed communication to impacted end users when sites are ready for roll-out
3/Less frequent communication to the entire company, starting quite soon in the preparation phase
In those 3 communication flows we reused the same core messages around ‘why implementing SAP, training and support
Depending on the target group, the level of detail varied
Why did we put much effort in the key stakeholders
they are the first line ambassadors involved in the project with a big influence in the organization
Let’s talk about the communication plan and the tactics! For each main target group there were specific communication tactics.
To take up the role as embassador we put a lot of effort and time in the key stakeholders.
Thogether with the project leads we decided to invest in
knowledge and extra information for the stakeholders
tangible support
and increasing communication skills
One of the most important tactics was the
Global team meeting whole day, cross country meeting, where clear sponsorship of C-level was shown. During this team meeting we focused on collaborations and communication and left a lot of room for interactive 2 way communication. The goal was to get the conversation in the SAP project team started, people felt free to share there concerns with CEO and project leads.
SharePoint folder we built a central point of information
BPO newsletter (2 weekly)
To keep focus on communication, we brought an communication update on every Steerco meeting.
As end-users in the organization are worried as soon as they hear a new system is coming, we built a communication flow, starting in the preparation phase, up until the rollout.
Word by the CEO (oral and article in internal magazine)
Printed newsletter with pay slip
Every 3 months 2 2/3 paged article on the SAP project was published in the internal magazine
From the start onwards we built and shared consistently the SAP contact mailbox. We enriched our FAQ with questions coming in through this channel.
Moving forward towards every rollout we used another set of tactics. End-users are concerned about 3 things mainly
What will change in my job, will I get training and when and how will I get support.
On every site an information session was organized before every training.
There was a poster campaign before and after go-live to create awareness for the project
It is very important to let people know when they will get training and how. We tried to communicate the planning of training session
Even more important is the way people will get support CONTACT INFORMATION SHEET, shows the flow how they will get support during and after office hours.
Lunch bag sessions after rollout. Again face-to face communication
Celebration info session
One size does not fit all!!!
We not only adapted the various materials to the various sites but also adapted communication to white and blue collar workers.
During the integration phase it got clear that one site was lagging behind. Together with the client we decided to introduce a change manager to take up specific change actions and intensify the communication at that site.
In the team of Strategy and Transformation we have certified change managers, they are also in the room.
The change manager took care of the following actions:
Because of the new processes => new roles and responsibilities needed to be determined but they also needed to be mapped on the skills of the current staff
Adapt organization to SAP requirements (R&R is transaction based; org is org chart based)
Optimize operational processes to adapt to SAP
Change mindset survey and action plan
New tasks => demand for new behaviours Build, assist, train and coaching of separate task force
We worked very closely with the change manager and made sure to be aligned at all times. Not only within Delaware but also with the corporate plans and directions.
1/Stick to the plan Embedding change takes time repetition of messages is key
2/ Create active and visual sponsorship of management
3/ Impact of word of mouth should not be neglected
Support of the key stakeholder (key-users) is key. They are your ambassadors.
And finally…..
4/ work with communication and change experts internally or externally….
Here are some of our other stories.
Thank you all for coming!
I hope that everyone in the room, will take something home and get motivated to invest more time in change communication.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me an email.
Or just grab my arm or the arm of one of my colleagues in the room, during the network drink so we can have a chat on change communication.
