Business Issues
- Increase the delivery of digital infrastructure to key Canadian business stakeholders
Challenges
- Executive team needed to visualize company story, metaphor and true organizational meaning
- Business units were not consistently gaining access to research institution decision makers.
How We Helped
- Delivered Storytelling and Overcoming objections for Leaders program.
- Particular attention to developing unique CANARIE value stories, connecting with company metaphor, and, ultimately, helping colleagues to think differently and overcome entrenched views.
- Introduced the concept of shared central depository of CANARIE success stories.
Result: Immediately after the program, Executive team felt more bonded, connected and working toward common goal. 911 objection handling and storytelling techniques were successfully adapted by CTO and his team on the following week.
