New Work Organization for a Modern Communications Sector

In the period from 2007 to 2013, our client's communication organization developed in several stages: Originally, there were five parallel and independently operating decentralized communication areas. This was transformed into a pool organization. During the implementation process, the group communication department continuously and intensively shaped this process together with cidpartners as the external partner. Additional selective support was provided by the company’s HR department, through training courses and through OU capacities.

Services

  • Conception and facilitation of working meetings and large-scale offsite workshops
  • Organization of dialogue events for a more open process and more involvement
  • Support in the design of an organization prototype based on employee feedback
  • Intensive training of employees and simulations of pool organization

Results

  • Comprehensive change in the departmental culture

Success Factors

  • Intensive support for the division managers
