How do you know if you have the right skills?
We helped to create a unique framework that defined the knowledge, skills and direct experience needed by internal communication professionals during the different stages of their careers.
The CiB worked with The Work Foundation; The Internal Communications Alliance (linked with the Institute of Public Relations) and the IABC (The International Association of Business Communicators) to set out the knowledge and skils matrix - an industry-wide definition of the competencies needed to be an effective internal communicator. There are four bands - use the matrix as a guide to planning your personal development or to develop your team.
You can download the skills matrix, the competencies list and a suggested reading list from this web site (please note they are in Adobe PDF format).

"The course was fantastic - far better than I expected. ROB is amazing and has IC down to a fine art. He made me see IC in a completely different light. The depth of detail we went into was incredible and everything we learnt was useful for my role in some way. The one-on-one follow ups and personal help ROB gave me on the course and specific issues was greatly appreciated. I know I can contact him for advice whenever. The rest of the team were fantastic and the amount of support available from everyone was great. Would definitely recommend it." Saskia Dornan, Virgin Group.

Unexpected events will always happen – and sometimes they can be so momentous and dramatic that they can affect your organisation’s ability to operate. But if unexpected events are going to happen, then it makes sound business sense to have in place both short and long term plans to respond to these events.
This one-day workshop will focus on the issues that need to be addressed, enabling you to subsequently develop a plan – and, in particular, the communications aspects - that will enable your organisation to continue operations in the face of a wide range of potential threats.

Information is produced and disseminated by most businesses but how accessible are these documents? Whilst the content may be informative, many people may not be able to read or access the information due to the design, language, layout and typeface used. Not being able to access or understand information could be losing your business vital revenue and may be viewed as a barrier to including ‘hard to reach’ consumer groups.
