Your cascade is broken: Why line managers are failing at communicating change

Illustration of two work colleagues on a video call

Often when approaching a major change in global organisations, the strategy and plans are built diligently in boardrooms with a cross-section of leaders. But most employees don’t experience transformation through corporate town halls or intranet updates (1), especially in global and complex organisations. They experience it through their line managers. And frankly – line managers […]

Why cyber security awareness needs an engagement strategy

Phishing graphic

You can give every employee the same training and get a 98% completion rate. But it’s likely you still have people making the wrong decision when it matters. Simply put, awareness isn’t engagement. Engagement is what turns knowledge into action.  For years, organisations have approached cyber security awareness primarily as a training challenge: create a […]

The Third Age of the EVP: What talent really wants now

Blue Goose Briefing panellists, February 2026

For years, employer branding and the EVP was relatively predictable. Large organisations attracted talent on their name and reputation alone. Then COVID arrived and tore up the script. Flexibility and autonomy surged to the front of every EVP. Employees seized the microphone, and organisations listened and adapted. But we’ve entered a new phase. The ground […]

The Institute of Internal Communication’s IC Index 2026: The Reality Check report made for a very interesting read this year.

No two change and transformation programmes are ever entirely alike, but every manager who’s spearheaded change inside a large organisation will recognise at least one constant: progress doesn’t falter because of processes, but because of people.  While methodologies and timelines matter, it’s the behaviour of employees – often subtle, sometimes loud – that can quietly […]

Across sectors, AI sits near the top of the board agenda – yet many organisations are still struggling to translate ambition into everyday behaviour change.  Boston Consulting Group’s AI Radar Global Survey found that three-quarters of C‑suite executives list GenAI as a top three strategic priority, but only 25% said they had seen significant value […]
