CASE STUDY
Change management for a hesitant subsidiary


Overview
This large international consumer goods organisation is a key player in the North American market.
It selected FCM as its global travel partner, which required a sophisticated and nuanced change management approach for the company and its key stakeholders.
One particular North American subsidiary of the company already had a travel company they loved, and the team knew they would need additional guidance to be introduced to the new globalised, consolidated travel programme.
Challenge: managing key stakeholders
For the organisation and its executive and VIP travellers, moving to a global programme would be significant. According to the company’s global sourcing manager, “It was key to get stakeholder engagement and support to ensure a smooth transition.” FCM would need to coordinate complex regional requirements across North America, as well as integrate with existing organisational communication channels and processes.

Solution: a strategic change management programme
FCM Consulting spearheaded a strategic change management programme with the team in the U.S.-based subsidiary:
- Engagement sessions with company executives, executive assistants, and VIP travellers that included key insights and a clear path to success.
- Multi-channel communications and training assets targeted at specific stakeholder personas ranging from executives and VIPs to travellers and travel arrangers.
