Global IC – USA perspective: ‘Authenticity is the real challenge’

Internal communication may be a global profession, but it is shaped by deeply local cultures, contexts and expectations, making the balance between global consistency and local authenticity more important than ever. Drawing on perspectives from communicators around the world, our latest Voice series explores how trust, listening and human connection remain the constants that drive meaningful engagement, wherever people work. First, Keith Berman, director of internal communications at US-based software company Vertafore, discusses AI’s impact, navigating political sensitivities and why internal comms must be seen as essential, not optional.

Imperial Brands

As an agency which is focused only on internal communication it made sense for people across Sequel to be part of the Institute, which we’ve long recognised as the definitive voice of the industry, and to share their learnings with other members of the team. We’ve also attended events at a national and local level and we’re all fans of the communication for members including Voice magazine, the regular email newsletter and the content for members on the website.
