After communication meetings with all employees impacted by a change initiative, the feedback was that many of them do not understand the reasons for this change. Which part of the communications strategy is most likely to be revised to achieve desired outcome of change communication?
If employees do not understand why the change is happening, the issue lies in the business rationale/case for change component of the communication strategy. ACMP stresses that building awareness starts with a clear explanation of why change is needed, risks of not changing, and expected benefits. The other options (B--D) deal with ability, adaptability, or future readiness, which follow only after a strong rationale is understood. Thus, revising the business rationale (A) is necessary.
