AI in the workplace (and our daily lives) is here to stay. Yet, what we see in use today is only the beginning of what working with AI will look like in the future. With this evolution, there will be many ethical crossroads that organisations and professionals must address, and creating governance and responsible use guidelines will be a role for all leaders in the organisation. Yet, communication professionals are ideally placed to lead these conversations internally and externally, especially when navigating the shifting state of trust and social expectations.

This session is designed to give leaders the tools to do just that. Bonnie Caver of Reputation Lighthouse and Adrian Cropley of the Centre for Strategic Communication Excellence have developed the framework for an enlightening discussion about AI. With collaboration across ethics, reputation, change management, strategic communication leadership, and training disciplines, attendees will be led through a thoughtful journey of creating an organisation’s AI ethics, governance, and responsible use practice while aligning with existing ethics and governance organisational policies. Global best practices and lessons learned will be shared, and attendees are encouraged to bring their challenges and wins so that participants can learn from each other in this facilitated discussion.

The Global Communication Certification Council and the Centre for Strategic Communication Excellence have teamed up to create a certification bootcamp that will be introduced at the IABC World Conference on June 23, 2024. If you are looking to get your CMP or SCMP certification, this session is for you!

This intensive, 3.5-hour program is designed to prepare candidates for the certification exam and provide a thorough overview of strategic communication management and the Global Standard for the Communication Profession. Attendees will also benefit from a complimentary study guide to enhance their preparation for the exam.

There is a limit of only 25 participants so make sure you sign up early if you’re interested.

Sia is presenting the latest research findings on strategic internal communication, recently conducted on a global scale in partnership with Haiilo. She will provide insights into the current landscape for communication professionals and help us better understand the structured approach to effectively organize and deliver communication within an organisation to drive business outcomes.

The session aims to explain what it means to be strategic and how the strategic approach can be leveraged to surpass organisational objectives and propel business success. By the end of this session, you will have a clear understanding of how to use the strategic approach to achieve your business goals.

In today's uncertain and competitive work environment, public sector organisations need communication leaders with a firm grip on all areas of business to drive strategic alignment.

As a contemporary communication leader, you must equip yourself with the mindset, skills, and practical strategies to influence at the executive level, communicate with impact, and activate a thriving culture.

This workshop focuses on the core communication leadership skills you need to succeed as a public sector communication leader and deliver real value to your organisation. You will emerge prepared to think and lead strategically, generate innovative ideas, build trust, and contribute to your organisation on a strategic and senior level.

Draw on the latest thinking, practical models, tools, and strategies to elevate your communication leadership presence and ignite your career.

Exciting news for all the dog owners out there, scientists in Michigan are using artificial intelligence to try to understand what our dogs are saying.

They analysed various dog breeds, ages, and sexes, and inputted all different kinds of barks, whimpers, and yelps. The results found that the technology was accurate about 70% of the time! It is incredible to think that the data derived from human speech patterns could be tweaked to interpret animal sounds. This finding could have implications for the veterinary field and all animal welfare organisations.

Influence is undoubtedly the foundation of a transformative movement in public sector communication leadership. In a recent article on the CommsRoom website, Sia discusses how influence, emotional intelligence and leadership intersect.

Recently, Sia Papageorgiou FRSA, FCSCE, SCMP was featured on the Candid Comms podcast with Rachel Miller.
