Attending last week's IABC World Conference provided a wealth of content. Here's the rundown...Monday, June 8
Day 1 recap from the IABC World Conference
Day 1 is about to officially come to a close and it's been a strong first day. Though it shouldn't come as much of a surprise given that it is a world conference, much of the content and sessions is focused on communicating to a global audience. Global communication is a challenge for any organization with people scattered about time zones and geographies. Just when some employees are showing up to work, others are going to bed.

Discussing trends in employee communications
I'm really honored to take part in this morning's "expert" panel on employee communications at the 2009 IABC World Conference. Though I feel the expert label is a bit of a misnomer and widely overused, hence the quotation marks. I'm not expert (though others on the panel may be). I'm an enthusiast. I love everything involving employee communications.
Employee communications a hot topic at IABC
I feel like a lot of internal communicators get stuck in their own worlds sometimes. Our audiences are the people inside the four walls so sometimes we don't look outside for help, or maybe just don't realize where help is. At least I never did. We've heard we all need to be better story tellers, and sometimes are stories are the ones best told. I'd like to thank everyone for sharing their hard work.

ROM for Corporate Communications is a game-changer
It's quite timely that just as we wrap up a successful IABC World Conference, we've announced a special new version of our ROM (Return on Message) Methodology for corporate communications. In my biased opinion, this is a game-changer. The topic of measurement came up again and again at the IABC World Conference.

What role will communicators play during the recovery period?
For the employee communications expert panel at this week's IABC World Conference, I was asked to talk briefly about a communications trend I've seen recently. Aside from the obvious one (social media), the only thing I've seen is internal communicators getting beat up on a daily basis.
And here's a few others that peaked my interest...
- Talk your way to employee engagement
- Communicators split on digital implementation, impact
- The key to fast and effective communications
