At planning days and workshops we are often asked to help teams develop a purpose statement. However, we speak to too many communications teams that struggle to do so.   It's not just about finding the right words, it is also the fact that it is not something the team has considered before.   The truth is that if you cannot articulate your core reason for existence and the value you contribute to the organisation, how do you expect others to understand what you contribute other than the tactical things you deliver?   You can read more about why your purpose statement is so important and where to start with developing one in Mel's latest blog: https://lnkd.in/gmEVhCYs   #elmcommunications #communications #communicationsteam #communicationsprofessional #purpose #teampurpose #purposestatement #teambuilding

If you could pick one communications superpower, what would it be?   Imagine you had perfect timing telepathy, the superpower to know the exact right moment to hit "send" or "post". Or maybe you'd choose Audience insight x-ray, giving you the power to know exactly what your audience wants.   We all have that one power that would make our lives as communications professionals a little easier.   So, if you could pick one superpower to make your job easier or amplify your impact, what would it be? We want to hear your answer in the comments below!   #elmcommunications #communications #communication #commssuperpower #superpower

Understanding the difference between your team's purpose and its value is key to driving meaningful impact within any organisation.   Your purpose gives your team direction, and your value secures your place as a vital contributor to the organisation. Knowing and communicating both is essential for ensuring your team's efforts are understood and recognised.   Swipe through to understand the difference between the terms ➡️   #elmcommnications #teampurpose #value #purposeandvalue #strategiccomunications #teamdevelopment

We love working with communications teams to ensure they are operating at their best to demonstrate the true value of professional communications.   How do we achieve that? One way is by stepping away from the office for a day of reflection, connection and future planning - what we like to call a Comms Day Out!   This week we had the pleasure of escaping Canberra and heading to sunny Brisbane for a workshop with a small comms team doing some amazing work.   #elmcommunications #communications #facilitation #workshop #communicationsteam #planningday

We love a good framework here at Elm, and we recently found a great one for all the internal communications professionals out there!   The Institute of Internal Communication's profession map encapsulates the vital role that internal communicators play in an organisation and sets a benchmark for internal communication professionals and teams.   As an individual, you can use the map to: - Establish the level you are currently working - Assess your knowledge, skills and capabilities - Map out a career trajectory - Articulate the role of internal communication to colleagues   As a team, you can use the map to: - Identify knowledge and skills gaps within the team - Assess current roles and responsibilities - Support requests for additional resourcing - Ensure the team is operating according to best practice   Check out the framework here: https://lnkd.in/eNAYMbqb   #elmcommunications #freeresources #commsresources #internalcomms #internalcommunications

Amy Arbery is talking all about motivated reasoning and elections in our newest blog. Motivated reasoning is the tendency for people to process information in ways that support their pre-existing beliefs and desires.   Right now we are in the middle of a local government election (ACT) against the much larger backdrop of the US election. It is in times like these that we can see motivated reasoning in action.   Clever and strategic communications can play an important role in this space.
