Communication track

When you say communication, many still think of a somewhat soft skill set. In reality, modern communication is the need of conveying the organizations message to different stakeholders in an effective way across a myriad of channels . This not only requires that we constantly adopt new digital tools and implement automated processes in our execution. It also requires us to implement these into our basic strategic thinking.

This conference track focuses on making our soft - yet powerful - communication skill set work in unison with automation and new ways of collecting and using data.

How nudging gives you the gentle push into the circle of trust

I’m nudged about you. I said the words slowly and with a firm voice looking into the eyes of the female CEO. And even though my tenure was less than 3 weeks I could tell I got her full attention.

The dialogue untimely gave me a seat in the circle of trust, and kickstarted a series of small gentle mental pushes forcing corporate communication into all corners of the company.
