<p>I was delighted to have the opportunity to virtually sit down with one of their clients, Kieth Moran from SL Controls.</p> <p>People clearly play a big part in the development of any business. But for SL Controls, the advancements in technology (robotics, virtual reality and data) meant their strategy was constantly changing. So I wanted to find out how they communicated those changes to their people. Without affecting personal development or <a href="https://www.chattalent.com/talent-management/employee-engagement/the-most-important-avoided-piece-for-organisations-building-blocks-culture/">culture</a>.</p> <p>Implementing a 3-year strategy, and using quarterly reviews, 1-1s conversations have been massive for the overall success of the SL Controls strategy. As Keith beautiful put it:</p> <p>“The real power is giving people purpose. Once people have a purpose and they know what they’re doing, why they’re doing it and what it’s contributing the overall strategy. It’s transformative.”<br> </p> <p>Enjoy!</p> <h4><strong>DON’T HAVE TIME TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE EPISODE?
