The Biggest Joke in Internal Communication? Still Failing to Prove Our Value

Despite growing complexity in our organisations, too many internal communication professionals remain stuck in a tactical loop, failing to demonstrate their strategic value. In this insightful webinar, Sharn Kleiss, lead author of Gallagher’s State of the Sector report, joins Sia Papageorgiou FRSA, FCSCE, SCMP to unpack why our profession continues to struggle with credibility – and what needs to change.

Together, they explore:

  • The brutal truth about why internal communication still struggles to be seen as strategic
  • Exclusive findings from the 2025 Gallagher State of the Sector report and the CSCE’s own research
  • What it actually takes to prove internal communication’s business value (and stop being ignored)

Packed with data, real-world examples, and bold ideas, this session is a must-watch for any communication professional ready to lead strategically, act with purpose, and finally gain the respect they deserve.

Whether you joined us live or are catching up now, this session is your opportunity to reflect, reset, and rethink how you lead internal communication in 2025 and beyond.
