Disrupt or be Disrupted: Reinventing Your Communication and Leadership Role

Description

Watch this 4-minute video to hear intro remarks about this webinar by Celine Schillinger.

Exponential networks, transparency, empowered customers and employees and technological shifts have profoundly disrupted the world of corporate communications.

“PR is dead,” Robert Phillips says in a book to which Celine Schillinger contributed. “Traditional internal comms is dead” says the former head of IC at the BBC. Even marketing and consumer advertising as we once knew them are dying.

This webinar forcefully makes the case that communicators are uniquely qualified and positioned to enable organizational transformation and performance … IF … they reinvent their role and embrace modern leadership and technology.

In this webinar you will hear compelling examples of how business value is being created in new ways from a recognized change agent, operating in a global, established industrial giant in a regulated environment and with a conservative corporate culture. You’ll learn how new leadership applied to communications can save your organization’s time and money while supporting its business objectives. Attend with your team.

“We need to change the way organizations work. We need to make business more human and more relevant to what employees, customers and stakeholders at large want today. We can’t stick to 20th Century tools and mindset to create value today. They’re not adapted to our complex, globalized and interconnected world. They’re obsolete. There’s considerable energy available when you tap into a broader pool of knowledge, and leverage common purpose, social media and co-creation”.
