Internal Communications

Situation

 

The CEO of the North, Central and South American operations of an international manufacturer of plastic piping systems oversees seven subsidiaries (three manufacturing operations and four sales organizations) on two continents.

 

Problem

 

The companies are isolated from each other and lack a common corporate vision at the grass-roots level.

Solution

 

Communicate corporate strategy and division performance quarterly by providing each of the companies' managing directors with a carefully-crafted PowerPoint presentation that interprets the current business environment, highlights performance and showcases employee successes in each subsidiary. 

 

Results

Business literacy and strategy savvy spread throughout the division, regardless of location and culture, boosting morale and increasing employee engagement
