Successful SVIK Conference on Change Management
With high-level speakers and an attractive mix of cases, the fourth SVIK Conference shed light on the multifaceted topic of change management. Far more than 100 HR and communications professionals had seized the opportunity and joined SBB CEO Andreas Meyer as he shared his insights into the challenging task of executive communication and information cascades. In interactive breakout sessions, they learned more about the challenges and contribution of communication to various change programs, ranging from Bank Coop’s customer service initiative to transforming SBB Cargo into a process-driven organization. The excellent participant ratings underscore the relevance of both topic and speakers, making us proud to be a main sponsor of the conference since its beginnings.
