Internal Communication (IC) is unique because it is the only business activity that everyone in your organisation has to do. From the CEO to the cleaner (even if the cleaner is only occasionally saying they need a new mop) every single person – without exception – has to do internal communicating of some kind.

The whole programme will strengthen your ability to design effective IC projects, to both manage and
