Maximizing Impact in 2023: Best Practices for Effective Internal Communication
Access Executive Brief
About this Executive Brief
This time last year, we were talking about a possible return to “business as usual”. A year later, “unusual” has become the name of the game as the workplace continues to undergo unprecedented change.
Hybrid working has become the norm, the priorities and preferences of employees are changing, the need for information is at an all-time high, global uncertainty and economic challenges are raging on—and it’s all happening so fast.
The role of communicators as facilitators of change was seen as mission-critical during the pandemic. But how do they fit into today’s radically transforming workplace?
In this Executive Brief, based on a webinar featuring Joss Mathieson, Chief Encouragement Officer at Change Oasis, Sharon McIntosh, Founder of And Then Communications, and Eoin Byrne, Chief People Officer at Poppulo, we explore how communications have changed in the last year, the top comms challenges in 2023, and how internal communicators can make the largest impact on the business.

The AI Toolkit for Internal Communications
Internal communication is under real pressure. IC teams are expected to support leaders, shape culture, and deliver relevant, personalized communication to an increasingly diverse audience—all while operating at greater speed and scale than ever before. AI arrives at the right moment. It doesn’t replace communicators; it elevates them. Applied well, AI sharpens the fundamentals of effective communication: diagnosing issues, shaping the narrative, guiding leaders, and delivering messages that connect people to purpose and progress. At its best, AI accelerates drafting, adapts content for different formats, improves accessibility, and surfaces insights about what’s landing. Without governance, though, it can create noise or risk. The opportunity for IC teams is to bring AI in thoughtfully, with governance and human judgment at the center. This guide shows how to do exactly that. Inside, you’ll find practical guidance on when to use AI, where humans remain essential, how to establish guardrails, how to prompt effectively, and how to scale AI responsibly across channels and teams.
