Value & Impact.

Despite the US withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement in January 2025 and the perceived downgrading of decarbonisation as a boardroom priority, sustainability progress continues to be made.

As the promise of AI efficiency continues to tantalise boardrooms across the spectrum, internal communication faces one of its greatest threats yet. When internal communication is viewed as a transactional business function – where ROI is deemed the primary metric of success – it becomes ripe for disruption and automation. When, however, communication is viewed through the lens of impact, it becomes a dynamic and essential component of an organisation’s lifeblood. This episode, Jen, Dom and Cat are joined by IoIC fellow Colin Archer who shares insights from his years spent delivering business impact through skilled internal communication.

The forces disrupting business are confounding organisational leaders across the board. As the months pass, it’s increasingly clear no amount of command-and-control executive dogma will reinstate economic stability. New operating and organising frameworks are needed, ones that introduce flexibility and optimal market-responsiveness for accelerated business performance. In this episode, leading organisational change and HR thinker Perry Timms introduces the concept of the Polymorphic Organisation.

In the first episode of 2026, Neil Carberry, CEO of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation returns to the podcast to discuss labour market trends with Jen, Dom and Cat. The REC’s monthly report on jobs, produced by S&P Global in association with KPMG, has become a go-to resource for enhanced understanding of UK labour market dynamics. Hiring, employment, redundancies, unemployment, salaries and wage inflation or stagnation all have implications for internal communicators and the way they interact with colleagues and other stakeholders.
