Top words selected to best describe BBC Worldwide as an organisation showing all words selected more than 3
times (frequency of selection indicated in brackets):
JUST TALK SESSIONS
•Show staff we want and need to hear “where they are at”
•Sense any issues we may need to address as we move to implement
•Overall, help “channel anxiety” and create positive energy
•Show WEx operating as a team
•Encourage L2 to lead change
IMPLEMENTING A MASTERFUL CHANGE APPROACH – “WE TRUST
OUR PEOPLE TO FIND THE SOLUTION”
A “Mastery” approach involves:
Ongoing communication of the case for change – explicitly
connecting to our strategy for the business
High levels of sponsorship from the top & high levels of
engagement from wider leadership in the change – with
responsibility taken for engaging everyone
Investment in change capability building
Attention to all aspects of the way we work – not just structure
e.g. culture, incentives, governance etc.
