Doing more for less - 20th Oct meeting

Our speaker for this meeting is Martin Coates.

This presentation will cover the need to communicate effectively, the 4-stage Visualisation process, and the benefits of using this approach. As you might expect, a presentation on Visualisation will have loads of pictures, based on real life examples and success stories. Martin aims to make this a fun and interactive presentation, so remember to bring your pencil and paper in order to unlock your own creative "right brain" potential!

Tuesday, 20th October, 5:30 - 8:00pm (6:00pm start)

Great to see old faces and new last night

Great night at the Internal Communications networking event last night. Some new faces, good wine and great discussion (plus a few name plays on the word Twitter which kept us all giggling...!)

The consensus at the end seemed to be – “Surely, if Twitter is useful as an internal communications tool, we wouldn’t need to dig so hard to find compelling strengths to overcome its weaknesses...”

The next meeting on the 15th Sept will be focusing on measuring internal communications.

Social media as an internal communications tool

There is a lot of hype around social media “revolutionising the way we communicate“. Twitter, in particular, has received extensive media coverage. There is little doubt that such tools are an essential part of external corporate communications….but what about from an employee communications perspective?

Our speaker for this meeting is Sarah Perry, SnapComms.
Sarah will facilitate a discussion around some of the benefits and realities of such social media tools for employee communications
