At a time of tumultuous change and uncertainty, it pays to take stock. To look at how work and the working environment is being utterly transformed, and with it the role of internal communicators.
What exactly is our role now and what should it be? What’s changing and what needs to change?
And when we ourselves can contribute to and control the change agenda, why are too many of us holding back waiting for direction from someone else?
These are just some of the questions we address in our new white paper, The Changing Role of Internal Communications in Corporate Communications, written by Katie Marlow, founder and CEO of Little Bird Communication.
She has drawn upon extensive international research, and incorporates insights from some of the world’s most respected voices in internal communications to assess the challenges facing IC, and how to overcome them to cement the function’s position as a critical business driver.
Katie explores the changing role of IC in the context of the current changing work environment and where we’ve come from as an industry, the evolving expectations of what we do, how we need to focus less on tactics and outputs, and more on strategy and outcomes. How we need to shift from being the reactive order taker to proactive trusted advisor.

Selecting the right digital signage software can be a complex and overwhelming task. With the seemingly unlimited number of options available, it’s crucial to get your selection right, as not all platforms are equal. To make it easier to get the right digital signage platform, we’ve created an RFP template for you to use to help ensure you get the solution that meets your unique needs.
Securing leadership support for internal communication initiatives can often feel like an uphill battle. Many communications professionals find it challenging to get executives to recognize the value of effective internal comms, making it difficult to drive engagement and alignment across the organization. But with the right strategies, communicators can bridge this gap and bring leadership on board, securing extra support and resources.
Internal communicators are at the heart of their organizations, connecting all the dots, bringing cohesion to whatever chaos the world introduces, and ultimately moving their companies forward. Simply put, IC is crucial, and therefore, communicators are constantly busy. In that rush to ensure effective employee communications, we've found that communicators are spending less time thinking strategically about their own careers. That's why we want to set aside time to talk about how to advance your career in IC—while at the same time ensuring the steps you take are beneficial for your organization.
