Identify competing tools to Steeple

Diagnose what exists before centralizing

Reminding everyone to go on Steeple with no results? Often, it’s because a multitude of tools coexist and confuse teams. Before centralizing internal communication, you need to diagnose what actually exists.

1. Audit current internal communications

Concrete actions

• Identify who communicates, about what, and to whom : management, HR, QHSE, managers…

• Detect redundancies, silos, irritants : duplicate sends, forgotten information, confusion…

• Diagnose the tools that are competing with Steeple today
