Unlock Consistent Communication Across Your Team and Executives
Aligning your team and executives around clear, consistent messaging can be challenging—especially when leading long-term change. But it’s absolutely essential that everyone involved can quickly relay key messages, evidence, and solutions in a way that’s aligned and easy to understand.
This tool was designed to streamline communication by providing a central place where you can store all key messages, supporting evidence, and proposed solutions. With it, you’ll ensure that every member of your team and all executives are on the same page, speaking the same language.
Why Use This Tool?
Effective communication is the backbone of successful change initiatives. Inconsistent messaging across teams can create confusion, erode trust, and stall progress. This simple, yet powerful, tool allows you to:
- Centralise Key Messages: Store your change objectives, problem statements, evidence, solutions, outcomes, and progress in one organised location.
- Streamline Storytelling: Simplify how you communicate by following a consistent structure—state the objective, highlight the problems, present supporting evidence, propose solutions, and share the outcomes.
- Enable Quick Sharing: Once you’ve crafted your key messages, you can easily export them into a spreadsheet that can be shared with your entire team and executives, ensuring everyone is up-to-date.
How to Get the Most from This Tool
- Start with Clear Objectives: Identify the key messages you need your team and executives to relay. For each message, be sure to link it to a larger change initiative.
- Document the Pain Points: Capture specific problems or challenges your team is facing that align with your message. Ensure these are real issues, grounded in facts, to ensure credibility.
- Back it Up with Evidence: Use data, insights, or observations to support your problem statements. The more concrete, the better. For example, use a stakeholder map or performance metrics to highlight the challenges.
- Outline the Solutions: For each problem, explain how your program or initiative addresses the issue. What solution are you proposing? Be specific and clear.
- Highlight the Outcomes: Paint a picture of the expected result. What’s the value or benefit of solving this problem? How will it impact your team or the broader organisation?
- Track Your Progress: Document ongoing progress. This will help your team and executives stay informed and aligned over time.
Example of Using the Tool:
Theme: Inclusive Communication
Problem Statement: We have too many people involved, making it difficult to keep communication consistent.
Supporting Evidence: Our stakeholder map shows 30 different people involved in the communication process, leading to varied messaging.
Solution: We’ve developed a stakeholder tool that ensures all team members can relay the same message consistently.
Outcome: Each team member shares the communication load, resulting in clear, aligned messages across all stakeholders.
Progress: MVP of the tool has been created and is currently in testing.
Keep Your Team on the Same Page
With your key messages stored and readily accessible, you can create program updates, briefing notes, slide decks, and other communication materials that maintain consistency. Once your stories are created, export them to a spreadsheet and share them with your entire team to ensure everyone is aligned and saying the same thing.
By using this tool regularly, you’ll find that consistent communication across your team becomes second nature. No more mixed messages—just clear, aligned communication that drives your program forward.
