- #5: If you think of Internal Comms as a product, employees expect to see three key ingredients:Speed - real-timeClarity/transparencyInformation - good quality
- #6: I went to a primary school which every year handed out a list that looked like this. The school uniform list. I was disappointed each year as the following never appeared…
- #7: Magic Steps by Clarks. They promised to make you into a princess and even had a gold key in the bottom of them.You can see the ad yia YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUQCQ0LMsb8However, for me, they were out of reach as my school shoes were always traditional, black leather, low-heeled and sensible
- #8: This is what my school shoes looked like…not quite the princess shoes I wanted.Why we talking about shoes? Same principles apply for your employee’s expectations and social media - they know there are shiny new whizzy tools out there and they want them. They want to know what is available to them and to be delighted by the content of your comms
- #9: This label was placed on envelopes on the tables in the conference room at 8am. I spoke at 2.15pm.There was no reference made to what the envelope was and it wasn’t stuck down, so the temptation to peek was there.Inside was a piece of paper that said ‘just because you’re told something isn’t for you, doesn’t stop you from wanting to take a look, does it?’
- #10: I didn’t show this slide, but is a meme I created in February 2012 showing how to describe your role, as these were popular at the time.I couldn’t find one for internal/corp comms, so made my own.
- #11: Shared resource: Brian Solis’ conversation prism
