Creativity isn’t easy. But it shouldn’t be difficult either.  When giving or taking a brief, scoping a creative project, discussing ideas with clients or coming up with ideas yourself, it can be difficult to know what’s important and what isn’t, how much is too much, and where your job ends and everyone else’s begins. This three-part webinar series has been commissioned by IABC Global Learning and is designed for business communicators who work on creative communication projects – whether scoping, briefing, creating or conceptualising. Each module of the series builds on the last, so you emerge with a broad understanding of how to awaken and maximise your creative ideation, as well as a usable framework, templates, checklists and prompts for practical implementation. This series is based on global best practices in creative thinking, planning and execution.   Presenter: Tiffany Markman, Writer, Teacher, Speaker  Read more

Becoming data-driven is the buzzword of internal communicators but here’s the thing: we know that we SHOULD be doing it but we don’t know how to go about it. Your company data is probably scattered around the organization in siloes and is used subjectively and analyzed retroactively. How can you know if your communications are being consumed, understood or connecting with employees in any meaningful way? You can probably measure output, but are you measuring impact? This three-part Masterclass series is designed to give the step-by-step approach to creating a data driven organization, oriented to make operative, strategic, and tactical decisions based on analytics (rather than opinion or gut instinct), and ultimately, tie business decisions and actions to analytical insights. The series is grounded in real life experience – showcasing practical implementation success stories (and some not so successful!) and demonstrating business cases and a long-term rollout process to guide you along your data & measurement journey! Presenters:  Joanne Frankel, Head of Internal Communications, Amdocs Reut Einav, Head of Data, Amdocs Read more

Presented by: Clare Gleghorn, CEO, Bastion Reputation Crisis communications and reputation management is never a simple game of checkers. It’s a strategic and sometimes drawn-out game of chess. There are some very basic rules that you must abide by to survive a crisis or major reputational issue. But beyond that, being able to advise and counsel anxious business leaders during one of the most stressful times in their lives requires strategic nous, agility, the right temperament, and creative flair. The following proposed three-part training webinar has been commissioned by IABC Global Learning.
