It was wondering participating in this incredible conversation.
My key take-aways?
-
Communication professionals must focus on value versus volume. Otherwise they risk creating noise that teaches employees and their audiences to ignore them.
-
We should connect our work to impacts on the business – Recruitment, Retention, Risk, Reputation, and Results
-
Sometimes when we do our job well, nothing happens. One of our roles is to limit disruption and keep people focused. Let’s take credit for that up front.
