Breaking the Silos: Driving Change in a National Broadcast Network

Client

A leading national television broadcast network with multiple channels and digital streaming extensions.


Situation

The client faced an urgent need to modernize operations amid industry disruption:

  • Departmental silos between broadcast, digital, and ad sales led to inconsistent strategies.

  • Resistance to change slowed adoption of digital-first initiatives.

  • Operational inefficiencies caused delays in content rollout and revenue leakages.

  • Employee morale was declining due to lack of clarity on transformation goals.


Strategic Approach

Phase 1 – Change Readiness Assessment

  • Conducted stakeholder workshops to identify barriers to adoption.

  • Mapped cultural and organizational pain points across divisions.

Phase 2 – Change Management Office (CMO) Setup

  • Established a central CMO to oversee transformation.

  • Created a change roadmap with clear milestones and accountability frameworks.

Phase 3 – Implementation & Engagement

  • Rolled out cross-functional teams bridging broadcast, digital, and ad sales.

  • Introduced leadership alignment sessions to cascade a unified vision.

  • Launched internal communication campaigns to improve transparency and buy-in.
