Communicating Strategy by Phil Jones
Offers a framework for building a communication plan and information, techniques, tools, tips and exercises that can be applied to explain and deliver a coherent message. This book explores the reasons why an organization's structure, processes and culture may stifle a story and the steps that can be taken to align each of these to the strategy.'This book represents an informative and innovative addition to the literature on business strategy that should interest company executives and academics within fields of business organisation and business development' - Economic Outlook and Business Review
'The messages in this book are important for anyone interested in strategy! Phil Jones discusses the critical issue of communicating strategy - and what's best - he communicates his messages in a very engaging and easy to understand manner' - Bernard Marr, Chief Executive, The Advanced Performance Institute
'Even the most well conceived strategies can be next to worthless if they are not communicated properly, understood fully or used to shape decision making actively - at all levels in an organisation. Phil Jones' insights into how businesses can make this happen are remarkable for their clarity, well grounded and - best of all - demonstrably effective! He has created a wonderfully pragmatic guidebook for achieving success.' - Ken Douglas, Technology Director, Office of the CTO, BP International Ltd
'This book sets out to give you the tools to make decisions for yourself and develop your judgement...It isn't a step-by-step guide (thank goodness) but rather suggests options that you can apply with confidence to your own particular situation and that gets you thinking for yourself...It's a user-friendly book, refreshingly free of management-speak. Once you've read it I'm pretty sure it won't go back on the shelf but will become a part of your armoury in the challenging world of business, strategy and maybe even relationships.' - Edge Magazine
'Each chapter of Communicating Strategy poses practical business strategy questions. If you can answer them, you've obviously read the book - if you can't it's time you did!' - Philip Dearing, Managing Director - Mutual One Limited
'Everything in this book is obvious - after you have read it. It is a practical book you can use and apply every day, as well as being a guide to planning a larger communication strategy.' - Martin Coombes, Partner, Innovation LLP
'Communicating Strategy articulates a route to success by both building on the strengths of relationships at work and by demonstrating how to deal with the disconnect that can occur in leading change when strategy is not jointly owned. Above all, it is apparent that the author has walked the walk!' - Shelagh Grant, Chief Executive, The Housing Forum
'One of the most valuable features of this book is the questions posed by the author. In each chapter, Jones lays out questions that require readers to come to grips with the extent of their knowledge of his concepts as they relate to the readers' organizations. The questions are not for review, not for contemplation at the ends of chapters but instead seem to create an ongoing internal dialogue to allow the reader to collaborate with Jones on customizing the materials for his or her needs...' - Communicating Research Trends
