Strategy
Every internal communication team needs a strategy that provides clarity on how IC supports the business.
Without a strategy, you’re always firefighting, struggling to say no to requests from across the business. And because you’re firefighting, you don’t have time to write a strategy. Before you know it, you’re caught in a vicious cycle. I can help you break it.
Sometimes you just need someone to cast an external eye over your plans and processes to ensure your overarching strategy is both clear and fit for purpose. Or maybe you don’t have a strategy and aren’t sure where to start. I can review and refresh your existing strategy, or create one from scratch (which often works best when preceded by an IC audit).
Internal communications strategies help guide you to success by:
• Aligning internal communications with the overall business strategy
• Defining SMART objectives
• Understanding your audiences
• Planning the activities needed to achieve these objectives
• Creating and confirming the channels you’ll communicate through
• Providing a framework for measurement.
