Next live call-in show August 23 on internal communications
UPDATE:The live call-in show has been postponed to Saturday, September 20, same times.
Our next live call-in show is set for Saturday,
September 20, at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern, and 6 p.m. Neville time. We’ll discuss the question raised on the blog eGov.au: “I’ve often wondered about the strength of the relationship between an organisation’s commitment to internal communications and its commitment to an effective intranet. I have worked in organisations with strong internal comms cultures, but with very poor intranets.” The post came to our attention courtesy of Michael Vanderdonk. Listeners with an interest in employee communications should find this episode to be particularly intriguing! Details are on BlogTalkRadio.
