Interested in internal communications and storytelling? Discuss issues, find answers and challenge thoughts...all are welcome!

Welcome!

I have created this Network to provide people with an interest in internal communications (and you can define that pretty much as you like) and corporate storytelling to share ideas and stories, raise issues, seek advice and explore!

I opened our doors so to speak on February 29, 2008 - a big leap for leap year....

The network is open to all - regardless of your role at work and I am hopeful we get a great mix of people representing communications, HR, managers and leaders, employees young and old and ...well, you get the point!

Welcome aboard...and spread the word!

Cheers, Ken
