For a long, long time, internal communications seemed stuck in the same place as we asked the perennial question, ‘how do we get a seat at the table?’ It only took a global pandemic to force through 10 years’ worth of change in two years.
We reacted, we reflected, and now we stand ready to apply the lessons we learned.
The quote says: “Those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.” So, how do we make sure we take the best and leave the rest? How to we make change stick and what do we, as internal communicators and agents of change, want our legacy to be?
In this session, lead behavioural scientist Lindsay Kohler and special guest Glenn Bonci explore the lessons of the past two years, how far internal comms has come, and what we want to take forward.
The expert panel:
- Lindsay Kohler, lead behavioural scientist
- Glenn Bonci, managing partner at HR Creative Group
