Application Dialogue around the announcement
Know what will pinch before the announcement.
A reorganisation, merger, relocation or far-reaching decision lands better when you know the concerns beforehand. Hold an anonymous dialogue before you break the news and a second one afterwards. Adjust based on what gets the most support.
The occasion Change
A reorganisation, merger, relocation or measure has to land.
- Dialogue before and after the announcement
- Concerns and preconditions mapped
- Adjustment options with support
In any major change, the real concerns are mostly shared at the coffee machine. By the time they reach the steering group, they have been filtered and softened.
With a dialogue beforehand and a second one after the start, you hear where people get stuck. Then you can adjust before resistance shapes the execution.
The approach 3 steps
From question to a next step people stand behind
We guide every step. What we mainly ask of you is substance: two meetings beforehand and a co-moderator during the session.
- Before
The pre-dialogue
We ask which concerns exist and what people need to be able to come along.
- During
The check
After the announcement or start, we ask how the change is landing. Participants vote on proposals for adjusting.
- After
Report and follow-up
The outcome feeds communication, priorities and concrete adjustments.

Questions about change
Is your question not listed? Ask it in an introductory call.
Can this be done before the formal announcement?
Yes. We work with themes and preconditions and design the questions so that confidential details stay inside.
Does asking questions not stir up unrest?
The unrest is usually already there. By gathering it in a structured and anonymous way, you can respond to it sooner and better.
