It may include a conference call so the incoming leader can communicate verbally with the entire organization. In planning out the communication strategy surrounding leadership change, there may be opportunities to break the mold and communicate in a way that the workforce can see and hear. The Town Hall Meeting is usually the centerpiece series of communication within an organization’s communication plan. A Broadcast-style Town Hall Webcast allows an incoming Chief Executive to establish their identity with a global workforce, “face-to-face.” The audience, in turn, has the opportunity to identify important non-verbal cues associated with leadership: vision, confidence and authenticity. **Technical Challenges** The difficulty in executing a Broadcast-style Webcast may be in identifying the proper resources necessary to overcome the technical challenges associated with communicating online within the corporate network. The right partner will be able to work with IT to create a Communication Technology Plan to serve video through the corporate network, in addition to helping apply Digital Communication Strategy and Methods. They may also be relied upon to provide Event Production and Staging & Rental as well.
