Demonstrating the Value of Internal Communication Making communication a priority within change programs

Why is this masterclass relevant to you? Internal communication has reached a point of maturity where the communication team plays a pivotal role in focusing management’s attention on the impact change has on achieving business objectives. Communication has become a catalyst for influencing opinion and buy-in for a number of stakeholders, particularly internal audiences.

Communication professionals have an opportunity to add value through their work as change agents and effectively deliver messages via a range of communication tools, techniques and channels internally. This masterclass will highlight the importance of effective planning and management of communication initiatives during times of change.

Communication is more than a mix of channels – it needs to be carefully timed, linked to business objectives and constantly evaluated to monitor potential issues and move stakeholders through the change process.

Who should attend? Managers, Directors and other Professionals responsible for: ƒƒ Internal Communication ƒƒ Corporate Communication and Reputation Management

ƒƒ Change Management ƒƒ Human Resources ƒƒ Organisational Development

ƒƒ Corporate Affairs ƒƒ Investor Relations
