Telecom XT: Why internal communications matters

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

How important is internal communications as part of a crisis response? Telecom found out during its recent XT network outage.

Join us for this lunchtime session where Megan Wiltshire will share the highs and lows of Telecom XT and how she tailored and executed an internal communications strategy to fit the situation. You will get the opportunity to ask questions, take away some great ideas for your own work and as always, network with your community.

Megan knows how internal communications can effectively contribute to a crisis solution; as well as working at Telecom during the XT roll out, she worked at BAA throughout the building of the controversial Terminal Five at Heathrow.
