Many communication practitioners are frustrated - frustrated by the confines of their role as largely still being about top-down content creation and distribution; frustrated by the missed opportunities that relevant, 2-way communication offers; and frustrated by the expectations that are made of them despite the set-up as described above.

Alignment is all about letting people make sense of their context and ways of collaborating on their own terms, through language, with others. It's not about people thinking the same thing, it's about inclusion, compatible views, and effectiveness.  And the need for alignment has never been greater - before, things were complex, ambiguous, and dynamic. And now it's virtual too.  

Previously, having people 'align' wasn't seen as feasible, scalable.  And how would you go about sorting out all these diffierent perspectives anyway.

Lindsay Uittenbogaard explains how all that has changed with an approach to alignment that is built on integrated research from the social sciences: an approach that is measurable, repeatable, scalable - and offers a whole new world for employee communication professionals.

In this open clinic session Dr Domna Lazidou who runs IoICs training on Culture and Employee Engagement for Communicators will discuss your challenges and answer your questions about all things Culture, Culture Change and Engagement in the time of Covid and beyond.

This year has been one of the most challenging, particularly for those working in internal communications. As it draws to a close and 2021 starts to come into focus, IoIC London is bringing together expert in-house and consultancy panellists to discuss and share their key learnings from 2020.

This event will take place on Zoom, with a link to log on sent the day before.

Choosing the IoIC Live annual conference theme ‘Facing the Future with Confidence’ nine months ago, we had no idea of just how much our ‘future’ would be turned upside down.

IoIC Live 2020 is going virtual across September-December and will explore how we now face this new future, together, looking at: the importance of community in the fragmented workplace; Leadership: a change for good; building ethics and trust and celebrating success.

Now, more than ever, is the time to show that #WeMatterAtWork so we’re also donating 10% of all ticket sales to our charity partner, Mind.

December's event focuses on Facing the Future: celebrating success.
