Internal and external communications: Your views on convergence

At the 2019 CIPR Inside Conference Katie Macaulay will be talking about the growing convergence of internal and external communication.

To help understand the degree of convergence inside today's organisations, she is asking internal communicators to complete this short survey.

To hear the findings from this survey, learn about the forces driving convergence and the implications for practitioners, join Katie’s presentation at the CIPR Inside Conference in Birmingham on Tuesday 8 October 2019.
