How do we communicate change?

We’ve helped hundreds of clients to create end-to-end communications plans to support workplace change. We’re great at 'lifting the lid' on organisations - defining the right things to communicate, before packaging and sending it out in a way which resonates with your audience. From this experience we’ve become quite expert at getting the right messages, to the right people, at the right time.

We know every organisation is unique – so before we do anything else we’ll talk to you. Or rather, we’ll listen. Only by doing this we can understand the language of your business and determine what to say, when, to who, and how.

From our experience, University Estates are often a rabbit warren of space - generally a mish-mash of old and new, big and small, fit-for-purpose and, well, "a-room-which-was-previously-unused-and-could-accommodate-some-students". Spaces are complex and disjointed, with years of lifting and shifting taking their toll. In all the inconsistency, one thing is consistent, however: University spaces are always changing.

As these spaces have grown and evolved over the years there has been a tendancy to ‘land grab’ often with little time to take a step back and consider the jigsaw of buildings as a whole. Understanding what space is needed hinges on understanding what space is already there, which, in most cases, is much easier said than done.

Our collective experience means we are well-versed in understanding space, and crucially, translating what that space means. We’ve developed a raft of clever tools to help teams plug in existing data, plus forecast growth, to understand how a University Estate can flex for future needs. This digital wizardry, combined with our ever-growing experience, puts us in the privileged position of University Estates Experts. We’d prefer to think of ourselves as the people who make complex, simple.
