W: (5-1)so how is our representation about the recon-structuring of the company coming along?

M: (5-2) fine, i am putting the finishing touches to it now, but we will have to be prepared for questions

W: Yes, there is already a feeling that this is a top-down change,we really need to get everyone on board.

M:Well, there will be a extensive consultation period.

W: I know, but there is always the feeling that if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.

M:People are worried about their jobs too. (6)I think we need to address that while there will be some job changes, there won’t be anyone getting dismissed. In fact, we are looking to take on more staff.

W: agreed. You can hardly blame people for worrying, though. we need to make it clear that it’s not just change for change’s sake. In other words,We really must make the case for why we are doing it. So, what’s the outline of the presentation?

M: (7) our start will be the brief review of the reasons for the change that we really need to make a clean break to restart growth. After that, our outline of new company’s structures and who is going where. Then we will hand it over to you to discuss the time line and summarize and we will take questions together at the end. Anything else?

W: oh,yeah. We should let the staff know the of choice communication, you know who they can contact to or direct questions to about these changes.

M: yes, and we can collect some frequently asked questions and present some general answers.

W: (8) and we will make the presentation and questions available on the company’s own computer network, right?

M: yes, we’ll make a page on the network where staff can download all the details.

W: alright, perhaps we should do a practice run of the presentation first.

M: you bet.
