Why is Strategic Messaging & Alignment Important?
Constant change and relentless competition make every organization's strategic alignment challenges unique. When evolving business and financial strategies, mergers and acquisitions, new processes and other change initiatives are underway, crystal-clear, consistent communication that increases each employee’s alignment and commitment to change is critical.
Whether alignment is needed for an organizational change, a new strategy, an introduction to organizational culture, the business of the business in onboarding or for another initiative, employees at all levels and in all jobs must understand the marketplace realities, where the organization is going, and how they fit into the picture of success.
