Why does strategy communications determine success?
The change of direction requires new kinds of actions and operating methods from the entire organization. Without clear communication, the strategy remains a piece of paper familiar only to the managment, and it does not affect everyday life. Research repeatedly shows that strategies fail more often in execution than in planning – and the reason is most often communication.
Effective strategy communication is built on three principles: crystallized and clear messages, repeating them in several channels, and open discussion. Often, visualizing the strategy in the form of an infographic or story makes it much easier to internalize.
Strategy communication does not end with the launch
The launch is just the beginning. Strategy communication will continue throughout the strategy period: achievements should be celebrated, the next measures should be explained, and changes should be communicated in good time. The strategy is also often updated according to changes in the market – and each update is a communications act.
