Never Have the Value of Internal Comms Questioned Again
A practical framework you can use today.
A practical framework you can use today.
Internal communicators constantly face the challenge of justifying their team's value to leadership — yet few have a structured way to make that case.
This session walks attendees through the Local Wisdom Internal Communications Team Maturity Model, a field-tested framework used by global organizations to assess where their IC function stands and what it takes to level up. Through an in-session assessment, participants identify their team's strengths and gaps across key dimensions of IC maturity.
Attendees leave with a one-page leadership pitch template that has helped IC teams around the world secure new investment, tools, and headcount — so they never have to defend their seat at the table again.
"It not only helps [IC teams] understand what 'good' looks like, but it provides a structured approach and steps to take."
