October event: Be Heard – Ensuring the strategic communications voice is heard loud and clear
We know that many times strategic communications professionals can be regarded more as communications operatives rather than business strategists.
Our October session will bring some fresh perspectives to this age-old quandary.
If you’ve ever wondered how to help your comms group to develop a more effective voice within organisations, this session is for you.
With over 13 years’ experience in strategic communications both for private and public organisations here and in North America, Bert Aldridge will deliver a presentation that explores and discusses approaches to develop better engagement with internal and external stakeholders and external audiences.
Bert’s presentation will bring new perspectives and tools to the conversation, and will include influences of strategic thinking, as well as case study examples he’s seen work well in organisations both in New Zealand and overseas.
Venue: Department of Internal Affairs, 46 Waring Taylor Street (cnr of Lambton Quay), Level 1 (doors will be locked from 5pm so we will be swiping you in)
Time: 5.15pm – 6.30pm with drinks and networking to follow
Date: Thursday, 20 October
Cost: Free for members / $25 for non-members
