Top tips for internal buy-in

Help achieve that all-important endorsement with this three-step plan by Steve Revill, consulting partner at Positive Momentum

  • Who? – Map out your key internal stakeholders. Not just the departmental and functional heads, but their key team members and influencers.
  • What? – Spend time every week building a deeper understanding of their key business issues. What’s hot for them at the moment? How can you help with them? What parts of your team’s work are of interest to them? Which parts do you need their support for to be successful? Be genuinely interested and curious.
  • How? – Use this knowledge across your team to map out an internal communications plan to proactively manage the relationships. Consider a range of touchpoints from one-to-one meetings and attendance at team meetings through to email updates and board papers. Make sure any communication is tailored to that particular stakeholder’s preferences (style, content and channel).
