assessing employee reactions to a major branding initiative
Challenge
A leading Canadian financial institution — a Financial Post 500 company — wanted to assess employee attitudes to a new direction in branding. This included measuring employee reactions to reorganization and other large-scale changes. This internal research project had to be conducted in secrecy and to very tight deadlines.

Strategy
In a two-week period, The Strategic Counsel conducted 12 focus groups and 12 interview sessions across Canada. Focus groups included employees at all levels, while interviews included only senior executives and divisional managers.

Results
One day after completion of the research, we delivered our conclusions in a 50-page PowerPoint presentation to meet the client's deadline. Among other features, our report segmented employees according to their attitudes to change, which gave the client valuable insight into differing employee attitudes and concerns about proposed changes in branding.
