Cost vs Value

All change comes with a cost, but not all costs have value.

Beware the hidden expense that comes from poorly executed change including resistance, lack of alignment and low engagement. But do plan to take full advantage of the strategic internal communications available to your organization when you do it right. Employees that are actively contributing during times of change will bring full value. Recognizing and acting on this will increase your return on engagement and lower your cost of change. Chevron
