Helping people understand what change means in practice
Change communication
When organisations introduce a new strategy, policy or priority, people need more than an announcement. They need to understand what is changing, why it matters, and what it means for the work they do every day.
We turn change into something people can connect with and act on, using film, live events, workshops and practical learning resources.
That might mean helping leaders explain the direction clearly. Creating stories or scenarios that show what the change looks like in practice. Or giving teams a way to ask questions, test their understanding and talk about what happens next.
The aim is to make change feel clear, human and credible, not another corporate message people scroll past.
From “What does this mean?” to “What do we do next?”
Workshop:
ALIVE Change
This interactive workshop uses the five ALIVE skills to explore what makes change happen, what may be getting in the way and where intervention is needed.
Resource:
Still Learning
Still Learning is a book about remaining curious when it is easier to pretend we already know. It explores how we ask better questions, listen more carefully, make sense of different perspectives and stay open to revising what we think.
Resource:
ALIVE Learning Conversations
This short field guide explores how to design and facilitate learning conversations. It offers practical questions for workshops, meetings and classrooms, and an ALIVE approach to helping people think aloud, listen to one another and turn discussion into action.
Case study:
Challenging the beliefs that hold people back
An inclusion taskforce wanted people to feel more confident contributing at work. Using exaggerated characters to bring familiar doubts to life, we created a learning experience that encouraged people to question the assumptions that stop them taking part.
The programme made hesitation and self-doubt easier to talk about, helping individuals feel more able to contribute ideas and ask questions at work.
Case study:
Cutting through initiative fatigue
An initiative in a multinational organisation needed to stand out from the noise of everyday communication. Using a 16-bit arcade world, we turned common workplace frustrations into a shared way to engage with the change.
The playful approach made the initiative more visible, and easier to connect with across the organisation.
Case study:
A shared language for change
A senior leadership team needed to open up discussion about new ways of working across cultures and languages. To create a shared understanding, we used a simple fairytale metaphor - a giant learning from smaller, more agile sprites - to make the challenge easy to grasp and hard to forget.
The story prompted teams to explore what adaptation meant in practice, without relying on corporate change language.
