Organizational Change – From Downsizings to Mergers and Acquisitions

The Central West Coast chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association invites you to a conversation with Dr. Patricia Whalen, a renowned expert on corporate communications and organizational culture. In this lunch and learn talk, Dr. Whalen will share key communications strategies to help public relations professionals manage and implement organizational change initiatives – from integrating new technologies, to layoffs and facility closings, to implementing a merger or acquisition.

Using current and past examples of successful and less successful change initiatives, she makes the case that their success or failure is driven by how well internal communications is integrated throughout the organization.

Join us to learn how to:

• Describe some of the key organizational, communication and management issues facing companies today.
• Review the most effective formal and informal communications tools for internal audiences.
• Provide a planning framework for addressing key stakeholders during times of organizational change.
