The Full Contact Communicators Blog. Commscrummer Lindsay Uittenbogaard Kicks Off in The Hague. Sometimes I wonder why communicators cling on to a steadfast interpretation of how communication adds value – when actually it’s completely context-related. The point here is that our value is fluid , which is why it can so easily slip through our fingers. Kevin Keohane, CommScrum Londinium. So is “employee engagement” an input or an outcome? Answers on a postcard…. Mike Klein – C ø. On the other hand, one man...

The Full Contact Communicators Blog. If you think like a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. Dan Gray – CommScrum London. Going to KK’s killer slide. In a recent DTIM. We figured that was worth delving into a bit more, with reference (for a change) to folks other than Kevin, Mike, Lindsay and me. So – Deb, Geoff, Indy, Mary – it’s over to you to pack down for the first of what will hopefully be many guest scrums…. Geoff Barbaro – Melbourne, Australi. So we start with thinking like a hammer....

https://commscrum.wordpress.com/2011/01/11/commscrums-predictions-for-2011
The Full Contact Communicators Blog. Commscrum’s predictions for 2011. Dan Gray – CommScrum London. Wow Is it really a month since we last posted? I suppose the LinkedIn group is partly to blame/congratulate for that – a lot of conversations have migrated over there – but still, it’s a bit of a poor show, and we promise to try and do better over the coming months. To kick off the New Year, we thought we’d borrow from an annual tradition of KK’s on his own blog. 2) As a result, brand narratives will incre...

The Full Contact Communicators Blog. Are we just Talking Heads on a road to nowhere? Kevin Keohane – CommScrum Queensway. PWC’s 2011 Global CEO Survey. Puts the talent agenda – that is, branding, acquiring, inspiring, developing, mobilising people – as the number one issue that will result in driving change and growth in 2011-2012. Clearly, employee engagement and communication are at the heart of all of this. The Economist Intelligent Unit Companies at a Crossroad. And, in particular to Mark Schumann...

https://commscrum.wordpress.com/2011/12/11/retreating-to-the-future
The Full Contact Communicators Blog. CommScrumming from Bromley,Kent. Greetings from the first-ever CommScrum founders’ retreat. Amid a bacchanalia of mulled wine, Thai curry and private-label bourbon, we Scrummers took a look at the current state of organisational communication, life in the corporate world, and in particular the fate of blogging as a viable means of getting opinions across. So, we’re going to concentrate on evolving CommScrum to the next level – developing the quality and membersh...

The Full Contact Communicators Blog. Central comms is out, team comms is king. Monologue post-starter from Lindsay Uittenbogaard Commscrumming from The Hague. You take the results home and decide to spend a half day the following morning going through the freeform comments (while drinking your favourite coffee in your favourite mug as a kind of mini celebration). 8211; the availability of ad hoc communication support on 2 levels:1) = intelligent information administration, 2) = project management. 8211; ...

Free Choice? Democracy Anyone? | Commscrum

The Full Contact Communicators Blog. Mike Klein – Commscrumming from Belgrade (sort of). 8220;Is Change Democratic? 8221; That was the question I spoke to in response to an invitation by the European Association of Communication Directors (EACD) to speak at a seminar on change communication at the University of Belgrade in Serbia last week. Ignoring the centrality of employee choice, further, may well be the bad seed that turns the 70% of change initiatives that fail into dust, leaving them defeated rath...

The Full Contact Communicators Blog. Winning a Two-Front War. Mike Klein–Commscrum Copenhagen. Few are exempt. Even cutting edge pros members of the CommScrum linked-in group, still find themselves selling and delivering a higher percentage of top-down executional programs than they would prefer to, and as yet, are unwilling to fall on their swords for more effective if less easily explained alternatives. The core issue is the same communication is not merely a facilitator of performance but is part of b...
