Driving change in a large organization is like driving down a slippery road. You shouldn’t break (or brake) the news of a change all at once; instead, success comes from breaking the news gradually to different levels of your organization, allowing each level to intellectually and emotionally process the transformation before they face questions from their team.

Join Barbara Roos (Director, Program, Acquisition & Change CoE - Intel Sales and Marketing Group, Intel) and Nellie Wartoft as they unpack the art and science of gradual change communications, exploring how corporate culture, targeted messaging, and strategic timing work together to create lasting organizational transformations.
