The Internal Communication Playbook
The Internal Communication Playbook was developed to help business people inject energy and action into their organisation through effective communication. This is a practical resource that people at all levels could use as a go-to communication guide to help them experience communication as a powerful force in business; a force that ignites ideas, strengthens teams and grows businesses.
The playbook covers everything from: the basic game rules (knowing what you can achieve, understanding your audiences and the leader’s role in communication etc.); content; interpersonal communication (engaging people, listening, tough conversations, conflict etc.); communication channels; communication skills for specific situations (presentations, change, delivering bad news etc.); measuring your communication – and more!
Building An Effective Communication Strategy
Are you worried your communication isn’t hitting the mark or know that you need to communicate but don’t know where to start? Well, this toolkit is definitely for you.
Strategic communication doesn’t happen by accident. It’s a product of a structured planning activity that considers the internal and external environment, business needs, research, audience, stakeholders, key messages, communication channels and measurement.
Do it well and your communication efforts will drive business results, build your reputation and earn you the role of trusted advisor and business partner within your organisation.

Our three-step process of identifying, mapping and managing stakeholders is outlined step-by-step and supported by models and templates. We’ve also included blank templates you can use for your own projects.
Calculating Communication ROI
This toolkit will help you measure the benefits your communication work has on your organisation and calculate your ROI. Our seven-step process includes tips, models, templates and case studies to help you speak the language of your executive team and convince them that the communication function is not only worth the investment, it drives business results.
