IC AROUND THE WORLD

Fourteen senior communication professionals working in the field of internal communication took part in our new series of interviews IC Around the World to share their views on the practice of internal comms in their countries, as well as who and what they are paying attention to in the world of IC.

OUR FIRST GLOBAL PUBLICATION

Disrupting the Function of IC - A Global Perspective

With the participation of 30 experts on 6 continents, we released our first global publication Disrupting the Function of IC - A Global Perspective, in June. The 222-page eBook takes a realistic yet critical look at the profession of internal communication, raises issues communication professionals can no longer ignore, and offers a global picture of what lies ahead for IC practitioners. We're proud that the book has been officially supported by professional organizations: the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management, who launched the book in New York City, the International Association for Business Communicators and the Institute for Public Relations. The publication is also used as a Course Text in a number of Post-Graduate PR & Corporate Communication Programs. Free download at ickollectif.com/ebook.

"This new book by IC Kollectif makes a major contribution to the exploration of the rich and complex work of internal communication.The collection of contributing authors is first class, drawn from across the world and all with a record of being thought leaders in the area as well as experienced practitioners." Professor Anne Gregory, PhD, FCIPR, CIPR, Author of Foreword, Former Chair, Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management & Chair of Corporate Communication University of Huddersfield.

OUR LATEST PUBLICATION

FROM HOPE TO REALITY How Far We've Come | The Road Ahead

There is a gap between where experts think the practice of internal communication should be, and what is really happening in the field. How far have we actually come in 2017? First published as individual blog posts, all contributions are now available in our latest publication released online, Internal Communication in 2017 & 2018 FROM HOPE TO REALITY How Far We've Come | The Road Ahead.
