From change to movement / Bosch CI in Motion

Bosch’s global IT organization faced the challenge of fundamentally evolving its role and ways of working. The objective was to transform into a flexible, responsive and future-oriented internal service provider for the company’s global business units.

With around 3,500 employees worldwide, this transformation required a strong shared identity, clear direction and active engagement across national and cultural boundaries.

The focus was on:

• Creating a shared understanding of the future
• Activating and engaging employees worldwide
• Supporting cultural change
• Making progress and successes visible
• Strengthening identification with the transformation

• Consulting on organizational development and change communications
• Development of the strategic guiding idea “CI in Motion”
• Design of the global communications architecture
• Development of campaigns, media and dialogue formats
• Implementation of international communications activities in seven languages
• Development of a consistent internal communications platform
