Certification: Why I Didn’t Hold Back (Roundtable Discussion)
The next five years have been described as an avalanche of change and companies are racing to meet stakeholders where they are in delivery, transparency, culture, sustainability, technology, work and life. It can be an avalanche that can quickly bury those who aren’t strategic and agile. However, the most critical piece of successfully hacking/riding the wave of change is Communication.
Learn from four global communication experts – all leaders in the IABC – how to utilise communication strategy to accelerate success.
From 8 March to 1 April, the VID21 conference is streaming dynamic keynotes, thought provoking interviews and live panels to help you, your team and organisation shape your future. Tickets are available here.
