"Herding cats." "Juggling." "Controlling the chaos." Why do we have so many phrases for managing inputs and outputs? Because internal comms is right at the center of it all, and sometimes you just need to "name it to tame it." Even though some of these sound kind of fun ( 🐈 ), the job of an internal communicator is far from simple: ☑ Take in huge amounts of information, timing, and priorities ☑ Organize it all and manage a wide variety of stakeholders ☑ Share everything across a menu of channels to (hopefully) reach everyone, everywhere ☑ Measure how you're doing all that, and keep improving Can we suggest a channel matrix? Putting a system behind what you share where (and when, to whom) can go a long way towards juggling those cats. Try our (free) channel matrix template: https://lnkd.in/gAyyghBZ
