1 What is a change communication tool?

A change communication tool is a tool that helps you structure and organize your change messages. It can be a simple document, a spreadsheet, a diagram, or a software application. The main purpose of a change communication tool is to help you answer four key questions: why, what, how, and when. Why are you making the change? What is the change and how will it affect your stakeholders? How will you implement the change and what support will you provide? When will the change happen and what are the milestones and deadlines?

Change communication tools are the bread and butter of consistent, effective communication plans. In addition to answering why, what, how, and when, consider the following for each of your change messages: ? The vehicle you will use to communicate the change (e.g., email, All Hands, team meeting, etc.) ? Who will communicate the change to each stakeholder group - Prosci’s research suggests that team members want to hear from senior leadership and their direct manager ? Try the Do/Say/Think/Feel test to ensure you’ve effectively answered the “why” (What do you want employees to DO with this information? What do you want them to SAY about this change? What do you hope they THINK and FEEL after this change?)

3 How to choose a change communication tool?

There is no one-size-fits-all change communication tool. You need to choose a tool that suits your change context, scope, and objectives. Some factors to consider when choosing a change communication tool are: the complexity and urgency of your change, the size and diversity of your audience, the resources and capabilities of your change team, the availability and accessibility of your communication channels, and the feedback and measurement mechanisms you have in place. You can also use a combination of tools to address different aspects of your change communication plan.

4 How to use a change communication tool?

In order to use a change communication tool, preparation and planning are essential. To start, you must define your change communication goals and objectives. Analyzing your stakeholders is also important, as you must understand their interests, needs, concerns, and expectations in order to segment and prioritize them. Additionally, designing your change messages is key to conveying key messages to each stakeholder group and addressing their questions and objections. Selecting communication channels and methods is also necessary in order to reach your stakeholders. Lastly, once you have implemented your plan, it is important to evaluate and adjust it based on the feedback and results.

5 What are some examples of change communication tools?

There are many change communication tools available, and you can also create your own. For example, the ADKAR model helps you communicate the five stages of individual change, the SCARF model helps you understand the emotional and behavioral responses of your stakeholders, the 4Ps model helps you create a compelling narrative for your change, and the 5Ws and 1H model helps you provide clear answers to common questions and concerns. All these tools can be used to assess readiness and resistance, craft messages and interactions, engage stakeholders in the change process, and avoid ambiguity and confusion.

My favorite change communication tool is a message map. It is designed to clarify the vision, describe the benefits, and document the supporting facts that support the benefits statements. It's meant to help change leaders and sponsors "sing from the same sheet of music". Consistency helps build trust with impacted stakeholders.
