How do you know if you have the right skills?
We helped to create a unique framework that defined the knowledge, skills and direct experience needed by internal communication professionals during the different stages of their careers.
The CiB worked with The Work Foundation; The Internal Communications Alliance (linked with the Institute of Public Relations) and the IABC (The International Association of Business Communicators) to set out the knowledge and skils matrix - an industry-wide definition of the competencies needed to be an effective internal communicator. There are four bands - use the matrix as a guide to planning your personal development or to develop your team.
You can download the skills matrix, the competencies list and a suggested reading list from this web site (please note they are in Adobe PDF format).
