Technology professionals: Want to really impact the business? Communicate like a pro!

About this Whitepaper

Technology leaders today have enormous opportunities to shape the success of the companies they work for, from delighting customers to growing revenue and contributing to the creation of a healthy workplace.

But to do that successfully, however, requires more than just technical expertise. The best technology leaders have mastered the art of effectively communicating both the vision and the ongoing program implementation activities to employees throughout the organization that is impacted by these changes – and, through them, to partners and customers.

However, effectively communicating during initiatives that involve behavioral change is one where many technology leaders have limited experience. In most project implementation models, communication is often a line item consisting of a few emails and a training session or two.

This whitepaper is designed to help you as a technology professional understand the communication-related causes of change initiative failures and develop strategies to address them. Mastering this will help you more successfully deliver the business benefits of technology to your company and accelerate your own career growth.

Many have little time to check internal channels. Join Joss Mathieson for a fireside chat with Camille Biau of Babilou Family, an international early-childhood education group with 14,000 employees in 10 countries, and Jessica Nixon of Rightfiber, a U.S. fiber broadband provider that has a dispersed workforce and has just gone through a merger.

Beyond the Meeting: The Business Case for Idle Screen Takeovers

This guide explores how organizations can transform idle conference room screens into valuable employee communication channels. By displaying content between meetings—and automatically returning screens to their primary function when needed—businesses can extend the value of existing technology without disrupting workplace workflows. Idle screen takeovers can reinforce strategic priorities, expand campaign reach, promote time-sensitive information, improve meeting readiness, celebrate employee achievements, and deliver location- or audience-specific messages. The guide recommends keeping each screen focused on one clear message with concise copy, strong visual hierarchy, and an appropriate expiration date. The guide also provides a readiness checklist covering technical compatibility, stakeholder roles, content ownership, targeting capabilities, measurement, and governance. It encourages organizations to begin with a focused, low-risk pilot, evaluate its impact, and then scale the program across additional screens and locations.
