#internalcommunications — Public Fediverse posts

Ugh. It's been a day already and it's only 9:30am.

With a layoff at my now former company, lots of us have been impacted, including me. The good news is my calendar is now free and clear.

I have no idea what comes next but if you know of any #InternalCommunications roles in #Massachusetts, I'd really appreciate the heads up 😃

I'll be honest, I didn't see this one coming but I'm not mad about it...

From Business Insider: "In the generative AI boom, vibe coding and AI expertise have become in-demand résumé skills. But tech companies are also looking to pay a premium for expertise in people who have a skill that predates AI: The art of communication."

#InternalCommunications

There's some good food for thought in this article from Ragan about accessible communications. I know I'll be rethinking #InternalCommunications going forward.

This morning I read a post on Spin Sucks about Google's NotebookLM (https://spinsucks.com/communication/notebooklm-communications-planning/) and decided to spend some time playing with the tool.

In particular, I'm more than a little impressed by the ability to upload documents, images, etc. and then have it create a podcast-type audio file, along with other types of content and summaries.

I'm a hesitant AI user but this particular tool has some interesting promise and use cases.

OFAI research scientists Michael Pucher and Tristan Miller were featured discussion panelists at the 2023 Internal Comms Forum, organized by Advatera. https://www.ofai.at/news/2023-06-20icf #InternalCommunications #ArtificialIntelligence

#Plants #ommunicate #distress using their own kind of #nervoussystem. Model mustard plant uses the same signals as animals to relay distress. Although plant biologists already know that changes to one part of a plant are sensed by the others, they had no idea how that information was transmitted. Now that they have seen the #calcium wave and the role of #glutamate, researchers can better monitor and—perhaps one day even manipulate—the plant's #internalcommunications.https://www.science.org/content/article/plants-communicate-distress-using-their-own-kind-nervous-system

The secret to leading #OrganisationalChange is #Empathy

Transformational leaders are exceptional communicators, argues this article in HBR.

The piece outlines four communication strategies to help motivate and inspire your team:

1) Use short words to talk about hard things.
2) Choose sticky metaphors to reinforce key concepts.
3) Humanise data to create value.
4). Make mission your mantra to align teams.
