Innovative Internal Communication by Joanna Parsons
Don’t let the title of this book fool you. It’s not about how to be more innovative in your internal communication in terms of your channels and technology. It’s much more about how you can be more curious as an internal communicator. Asking the right questions, understanding other disciplines, being more strategic in your approach are all aspects explained in this book with the focus on an innovative and curious mindset. Joanna discusses what innovation really is and how curiosity and measurement go hand in hand. It is a great read for anyone getting started in internal communication, looking to understand the importance of asking the right questions and having the right mindset to lead internal communication in the future.
People-First Internal Communication by Emma Bridger and Lee Smith
People-first internal communication is the book for strategic communicators of the future. It’s the wake up call the profession needs to truly understand its potential to guide organisations into being the workplaces they should be. With a focus on the communication experience for employees, it clearly breaks down the strategic skills, superpowers and key capabilities needed for today. While the need for creating content and channel management remain a key capability, without understanding behavioural science, systems thinking or AI-augmented practice, internal communications won’t evolve to become the function it needs to be. It’s the bringing together of employee experience practice and internal communication tactics to create a new direction for internal communicators, one that is well needed.
