If you've been flicking ahead in your diary, you may have noticed that we'd planned to hold a session next week. However, as many of us have just met the week before last at the (excellent) joint PRINZ/Internal Communications session, we've decided to move the dates for our next two meetings out a few weeks.
So please put these dates in your diary: Tuesday 28 September and Tuesday 16 November. The November session will be the last for the year. (No-one is looking for extra things to do in December!) And take these ones out: Tuesday 14 September, Tuesday 26 October and Tuesday 30 November.
Topic for our next session: Tuesday 28 September - Is your communication hitting the mark?
You know you should be doing it regularly. But, let's face it, measuring whether internal communication in your organisation is up to the mark is one of the hardest parts of your job. So join us for a practical session that will show you:
· wWhat you need to measure;
· sSome simple but effective ways to get the information you need;
· hHow to interpret and use the results.
Sharon Coombes - Director, Write Solutions Limited and Kate Thompson -On Message Business Communications will run this session.
Venue: Committee Room 1, Auckland Regional Council, Crn Hopetoun and Pitt Streets.
Date: Tuesday 28th Sept
Time: 5:30 (networking) 6:00 – 8:00pm
Investment: $5 (if we would like to pay for the year please let us know and we will send an invoice)
Session for next year: crisis communications plans (Canterbury earthquake)
Our thoughts are with everyone in Canterbury as they come to terms with this week's devastating earthquake. The earthquake has seen many of our internal communications colleagues putting their crisis communications plans into action - or wishing they had better plans to deal with the disaster. Early next year we'll be running a discussion session to cover this topic. We'll look at what we learned: what worked, what didn't, and how we can improve for the future.
