With more than three decades of counseling business leaders, Barbara Jacobs has worked across the spectrum of communications, from advertising, marketing, and public relations to change management and organizational/HR communications. She specializes in driving internal change by applying marketing principles – and employee adoption of new behaviors and new programs. That adoption comes in many forms:
• Helping Southern California Edison’s 17,000 employees adjust to and embrace SAP,
• Supporting Coca-Cola Enterprises through its business transformation,
• Driving widespread adoption of a new kind of consumer health care plan among Sara Lee non-unionized employees,
• Creating a meme-driven campaign to encourage ALL associates to validate Workday data (94% compliance)
• Enabling oil and energy companies to measure and solidify employee engagement and
• Convincing Deloitte partners and directors to cede control over “their” client information for an SAP CRM implementation.
Barbara has also served as a Midwest practice leader for Deloitte Consulting, among other boutique consultancies, in change management, communications, and total rewards before launching Jacobs Plus in 2010.
