HOW INTERNAL COMMS DELIVERS VALUE
IN A DISTRACTED WORLD
BE WHERE YOUR
COLLEAGUES ARE
• Focus on purpose and business value before
you focus on content and channels!
• Ask – what do you want people to feel and do?
• Focus on what your colleagues needs and less
on what they want.
• Be patient. Identify windows of opportunities to
try out new things
• Be bold, try out new things and accept that you
will fail (at least sometimes)
• …but be data driven and make sure you fail fast
