Change & Transformation
Change projects rarely fail because of the strategy. They fail because they remain too abstract. Presentations, process diagrams and lengthy documents convey information – but often fail to create a shared vision. It is precisely in times of change that people need guidance.
Change becomes tangible when it is made visible. A dialogue diagram does more than just show organisational charts or processes – it tells the story of your transformation. Staff recognise their role, managers are given an effective communication tool, and complex projects become easier to understand. In this way, a shared vision of the future emerges from a multitude of individual measures.
TRANSFORMATION PLANT HANOVER
Process optimization, strategy, cultural work and good communication are key to the VW Nutzfahrzeuge plant management Hanover in leading the way to a successful future. In the past, strategy and transformation processes were often accompanied by powerpoint "battles".There were numerous charts that tried to make it as comprehensible as possible what goals the company wanted to achieve and how it planed to get there.
Now the company wants to go other ways and has developed a vision for the future together with Goldpark and DIALOGBILD. On the one hand, the picture emerged in an intensive process, on the other hand, the discussion about the things that are important to the board in the picture led to a common understanding and also made it possible for different perspectives to be discussed and brought together.
This helps the Hannover plant to communicate its way into the the future with a common voice.
Thanks to the close cooperation between Goldpark and DIALOGBILD, the dialog picture was used for all events, informations and formats that relate to the transformation as well as to reflect the developments in the transformation process.

A DIALOG PICTURE FOR AIRBUS AND THEIR NEW MODULAR CONCEPT
The Airbus plant in Hamburg-Finkenwerder is the largest Airbus site in Germany. Among other things, this is where the final assembly of the well-known A320 family takes place. As part of an internal restructuring, sequential line production is being converted to a mixed production organization, with the first half of production taking place in a synchronized area and the second half at a modular station. This means that various activities per aircraft that currently take place at several stations will be carried out at a single station.
The new modular concept is to be made visually understandable to production employees with the aid of a dialog picture, and the advantages and opportunities for all those involved are to be highlighted.
During a comprehensive tour of the factory, the DIALOGBLD team had everything shown to them in detail and took photos so that the individual machines and production steps could be depicted as authentically as possible in the final dialog picture.
The finished dialog picture will be displayed prominently in the production halls for everyone to see and will be used for internal workshops. ...
TRANSFORMATION MAP „GERA 2020“
ALSTOM Transport Deutschland GmbH is faced with major challenges, the change strategy has to not only be communicated, but above all be lived. Jens Bünte (Personnel Manager for Germany & Austria) turned to DIALOGBILD with this goal. The situation of the company became clear relatively quickly and so we developed a communication strategy, which is not only visually appealing, but also captivating. Since the success of a strategy depends decisively on the acceptance and participation of the employees, we agreed on two creative workshops in order to elaborate the concept. The first workshop took place with around 15 executives and resulted in a landscape where a hub was chosen as the central point of the dialog picture.
It was important to highlight the past of the company, to specify the path of the "GerA 2020" transformation program and to use a part of the picture to show the future. These preliminary considerations were unanimously accepted by the second workshop group and further elaborated. With 20 change agents from different fields, the picture was then discussed and implemented together with all participants and scenes were placed in the landscape. At the end of the second workshop, the dialog picture was absolutely complete and the story was largely written. Decisions were made for positive and negative presentations, which should appeal to all employees and encourage them to think. With only one goal: to lead the transformation program to success together.

FUTURE CONCEPT FOR THE VERTRIEBSSPARKASSE 2020
The Kreissparkasse Herzogtum Lauenburg can proudly look back at their story of success: They are the number one in their region! Still, they do not rest on their laurels, because they know that they are still facing huge challenges.

Increasing profits through further developing their marketing policy and also improving efficiency by consequently optimizing their processes as well as structures referring to the model of the Deutschen Sparkassen- und Giroverband.
All employees are required to actively shape and participate in this change process. Therefore the strategy path has been communicated with the help of the dialog picture right from the start. In order to have all 650 employees on board, the Kreissparkasse organized a roadshow with the first dialog picture and used an interactive version of the picture to introduce the strategy path. Afterwards the employees were informed biannual about the state of the change process, for which DIALOGBILD created slides showing a magnifying glass zooming in on individual scenes.

CUSTOMER-CENTERED SALES SAVINGS BANK
Sparkasse Rosenheim-Bad Aibling in the south of Bavaria, near Lake Chiemsee, employs around 730 people and is a strong partner at the side of regional businesses and households.
In the course of its orientation as a "customer-centered sales savings bank", Sparkasse Rosenheim-Bad Aibling has given itself a new target image. The aim is to ensure sustainable success in sales, which has changed increasingly over the years. To this end, all institute perspectives are to be designed in a customer-centric manner and thus aligned with the needs and preferences of customers. As a result of this target, the sales structure is being fundamentally redesigned, resulting in significant changes in tasks, responsibilities and organizational positioning for almost all employees.
To illustrate the complex interrelationships of these reorganization measures, the customer groups, their addressing, the requirements placed on sales and the internal perspectives were depicted in a dialog picture. At the same time, the future regional anchoring of the savings bank in the city and district of Rosenheim could be optimally underlined.

E2E Supply Chain Excellence
Alfred Kärcher SE & Co. KG is a family-owned company headquartered in Winnenden, Baden-Württemberg. The world market leader for cleaning technology employs more than 13,500 people worldwide. The company is particularly renowned for its high-pressure cleaners.
In order to remain the world market leader in the future and to be able to supply customers optimally, Kärcher is constantly working on the optimization of its own supply chain management. The current strategy-relevant “End-to-End Supply Chain Excellence” project involves changes in processes, roles and responsibilities that will affect around 6,000 employees worldwide. In order to guarantee a uniform understanding of all project participants, Kärcher developed the dialog picture of the “E2E Supply Chain Excellence” change project, which was developed by DIALOGBILD accordingly.
The picture visualizes the process of the project as a path, starting from the current Kärcher reality. The viewer is informed about the new supply chain process to be implemented, in which he follows a bridge that leads to the future of Kärcher.
The organisational changes enshrined in it are related and linked by a DNA strand that symbolizes the flow of all relevant data. The business management parameters: requirements, stocks, production volume and location are effectively aligned with one another in the projected target state and are available to the customer efficiently as a Kärcher product "all time, in full". The bridge is supported by a stable Master Data Management foundation and other strategically oriented Kärcher projects. Challenges, fears and concerns are successfully overcome.
A special feature of the development of this dialog picture was that the in-house Kärcher illustration style was adopted. For this purpose, the illustrations were adapted to Kärcher's corporate identity guidelines, from style to colour to line thickness.
