Universal Webex rollout and communications support for a Global Management Consulting Firm

A global management consulting firm came to Bright mid-way through its five year transformation programme, initially requiring communications and employee engagement support for the global rollout of online video conferencing solution, Webex.

The Aim

The aim was to ensure employees fully adopted the service and reliance on audio-only BT MeetMe was significantly reduced. Over time this engagement developed to include communications support for other technology rollouts including Windows 10 and new laptop devices.

A strategic communications programme needs to sit alongside any digital transformation, designed to engage employees and bring them on the transformation journey from start to end.

The Solution

Bright identified the need to articulate and communicate the organisations overall digital transformation message to the business. Clear and direct messaging from the CIO’s office outlining the overall digital strategy was developed, alongside dedicated communications and training to support the roll out of specific new technologies and services being delivered.
