Communicating strategy (Published by Gower) provides a step by step guide to taking your strategy from inside the heads of the Executive Team, to inside the heads of your people.

Communicating strategy is a highly practical book with lots of exercises and advice. Everything in this book is obvious, after you read it.

It starts with 10 heresies about the communication of strategy (such as “people are not stupid” and “People do like change”, moving through how to ensure that as a team you can articulate and capture your strategy. It then provides practical techniques for planning the communication and also communicating the strategy. It also includes a guide to developing a plan to communicate your strategy.
