Creating a Change Communication Matrix
TARGET AUDIENCE: All learners SUGGESTED TIMING: 45 - 60 minutes
This activity involves learners creating a change communication matrix for a stakeholder group. This builds on the previous activities of stakeholder analysis and a Stakeholder Communications Grid. Learners should use these grids to identify the topics they will need to communicate on, break this down into messages appropriate to the stakeholder and identify the communication and feedback channels they would use to deliver this.
This activity will provide the basis for the supplementary activity 1: Crafting Your Message, so it is important to ensure that learners choose a selection of different communication channels, including social media, email, presentations, etc., as appropriate, in order to give the greatest possible scope to the next activity.
Crafting Your Message
TARGET AUDIENCE: Learners new to change SUGGESTED TIMING: 30 - 45 minutes
This activity gives learners the chance to write their own messages suitable for different communication channels. The activity builds on the communication matrix created in the previous activity. Learners should produce the messages which are to be sent via the various channels they identified.
The Nuances of Communication Channels
TARGET AUDIENCE: Executives, experienced change agents, sponsors SUGGESTED TIMING: 30 - 45 minutes
In this activity, experienced change leaders, executives and managers explore the nuances of different types of messages and the appropriate communication channels for them. Learners will randomly select a scenario from one pile of cards and a nuance from a second pile. They then need to create an appropriate message (with content and communication channel), which takes into account both the subject matter and the nuance.
Learners should work alone for this activity, which should end with each learner presenting their message to the other groups and receiving feedback from their fellow learners.
