The IOIC conference in Manchester was a great opportunity to continue my professional development in the comms space. I specifically enjoyed the EDI panel, and learned so much from the speakers. Hearing from comms teams on stage and in the audience about the real challenges they face has given me greater clarity on how Prologue Communications can better support our clients. Some of the key themes that came out of the discussion were: - How do we overcome change fatigue and resistance within our audiences? - How can comms teams be more strategic than responsive in their function? - How to build a culture of trust? - How do organisations communicate their perspective on global issues? - How can comms teams better handle the volume of information needing to reach colleagues? I highly recommend my network to join the IOIC, and be part of the conversation, and hopefully I'll see you at another event in the near future. #comms #IOIC #change #changecommunication

Our Duncan was our man on the ground at yesterday's Institute of Internal Communication conference in Manchester. We asked him what his top three takeaways from the day were: 1. Give your employees autonomy. janet leighton Director of Happiness, Timpsons Limited explained how they operate an ‘Upside Down’ Management structure so all their retail colleagues have licence to run the retail outlets in the want as long as it leads to strong customer service. And to know they have the full support of the rest of the business.   2. Capture the diversity of voice. Ian MacArthur, Director Good Employment Charter talked about the importance of accommodating diverse working styles and the needs of different generational types.   3. Constantly ask yourself: ‘What’s the point in doing this activity or piece of communication?’ Northern Trains, Luke Pearce CIIC, Employee Experience Manager reminded us that understanding the status quo through data and research is easy but ‘Taking it, communicating and acting on it is the hard bit. What happens next is the real crunch.’ #InternalCommunications #EmployeeEngagement

First Hand Thoughts from BZI Leadership on BZI's Innovation over the Years

Cooperatives are such an added value to our communities, ecomomy, cultures, and future. Cooperatives - center people first. What’s good for all involved, pooling resources together to spread the good, what are acts that have sustainable effects, instead of refractive effects, decisions that work to better lives, not strictly profit from them. Coops exist in so many facets of our lives. Whenever possible - choose a Co-op! • Credit Unions (don’t have outside stockholders - members are the collective shareholders - decisions benefit the members/membership) • Grocery Co-ops (like PCC, Central Co-op) • Home care co-ops • Electric Co-ops • Agricultural Co-ops • Retail co-ops (Ace Hardware) • Worker-Owner Co-op (growing trend among businesses where owners are aging out and selling business to employees collectively) • Housing Co-ops …. And much more. Worth celebrating. Wanna have a positive impact - join a Co-op!
