Culture eats strategy for lunch.
But what does it mean when there is a mindset of unwillingness to transform traditional comms to digital comms?
It means it will slow you down but also unravel a great strategy.
In today’s episode I’ll share my thoughts on:
- > Why culture is critical to successful digital comms
- > The 7S Approach To Embedding a Culture of Digital Communications Transformation
- > I interview Charlie Boyle, CEO of Customer Service Excellence Ireland (CSEI) which specializes on customer experience.
Joanne’s Column: Why Culture is Critical to Successful Digital Comms
I can write your social media or digital marketing strategy.
I can train your staff and design a bespoke training programme for your organisation.
I can even develop your content and publish it.
But if there isn’t a shared vision for digital communications especially within the comms team, then all of that work is simply academic.
Culture matters because it means a team is:
- > Invested in digital comms
- > Understand the value
- > Appreciate the changing nature of the landscape
- > Willing to learn
- > Accepting of it feeling uncomfortable
- > Supportive of colleagues as they build competencies and confidence
- > Willing to get it wrong to get it right
How would you describe the culture in your organisation towards digital communicatiosn transformation?
