Business Change Case Studies

Change Management to Support 700 People With New Roles, Processes and Relocation

Project Overview

Project Overview

Afiniti delivered a managed communications service and engaged employees throughout a significant period of business change.

Network Rail runs, maintains and develops Britain’s rail infrastructure, with four million passenger journeys every day. Information Management (IM) provides cutting-edge IT to over 35,000 employees and 20 train/freight operators.   To help understand the people and culture in IM, Afiniti completed a ‘discovery’ phase in an intense period of learning and analysis.  The IM Better Ahead strategic journey was then created.  A subsequent business change communications strategy was developed and implemented to ensure that employees remained focused and engaged.
