Communication Planning and Advising in Times of Change

Communication planning and advising can be extremely challenging in times of change. But why? And how do you succeed communicating change?
In this workshop we dive into the best insights and tools from strategic communication and psychodynamic organisational psychology. Strategy and emotions go hand in hand in times of change. As a communicator you must include both aspects in your planning and advising.
Helle will provide findings from research and case studies and facilitate a joint reflection involving the participants’ own experience with change communication. The aim will be to discuss ‘best practice’ and provide hands on inspiration to succeed with change communication.
