Clear Direction in a Complex World: How Top Companies Create Clarity, Confidence and

Community to Build Sustainable Performance

[full-text, 30 pages]

 

At a Glance

What drives ROI? Confirmed: Our fifth survey finds a strong

relationship between superior financial performance and effective

communication and change management — in any industry, region

or economy.

 

Effective communication and effective change management

make a difference. Organizations that are highly effective in both

their communication and change management practices are more

than twice as likely to significantly outperform their peers as

organizations that are not highly effective in either of these areas.

Creating a clear direction in a complex world requires conveying

a consistent story about the business, creating greater certainty,

confidence and engagement with employees, and building a shared

experience across diverse audiences.
