through the use of cartoons

How people take information depends on their mood, personality, upbringing and thinking style. It doesnOt mean that

communication can only be through written or spoken means.

There are different ways to receive messages. While most people do better with written word and others by verbal communication, some relate best to pictures, graphics or cartoons. Business organizations should be able to address change management in different ways, as personalities differ.

Pictures or graphics speaks for themselves. Most often, it is easier and faster to grasp visuals, rather than reading articles. The use of one or two sentences to support a graphic is enough to explain what it means. People in the organization need to be convinced, especially if change management is being proposed. One way of better understanding messages, or communicating them, is through graphics. They can be presented during meetings, training seminars, and can even be part of posters found on the firmOs bulletin boards. The change management cartoon makes it comfortable for leaders to disseminate information, at the initial stage, to those who resist change. A person resistive to change gradually gets to understand the change, if viewed from time to time, gets the meaning of the message, and later becomes comfortable with it.

The change management cartoon is an aid to help management communicate its strategy in a way that is entertaining and fun, and with pictures that speak for themselves. With the change management cartoon, management has an easy way of disseminating information, and without pushing people to read it. They simply look at change management cartoons, and re-think.
