Dear Source Reader
Devoted as we are to the professional development of internal communicators, we spend a lot of time trying to figure out what tasks people are struggling with and where the gaps are in terms of skills and knowledge.
So ahead of launching a new series of skills courses, we asked communicators about their training needs in 2008. Unsurprisingly, evergreen topics like "improving manager comms" and "communicating a comms audit" were still high on the list. But they're now joined by a range of social media-related activities too like "managing your intranet and social media" and "corporate podcasting".
Read more about the professional development your peers will be investing in this year on the Melcrum blog.
And if you're keen to develop your own skills and extend your professional network in 2008, don't miss the Internal Comms Hub and SCM member events, coming soon to a region near you.
See you next week!
