The 2022 Strategic Communications Convention gathered almost 400 professionals on the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington to community, brainstorm and be taught from dozens of specialists in inside and exterior communications.
From social media to management, from disaster communications to worker branding, the insights have been quick and livid throughout the two days of the convention.
In case you weren’t capable of be a part of us, listed below are a number of the greatest classes from the two-day convention:
- Present sources the place your staff are already energetic! Not making staff hunt for what you’re asking of them units them up for achievement.
- Employer branding is a group effort and is part of your model whether or not you select to acknowledge it or not.
- Be radically human in your purpose-driven messaging. Compelling tales win consideration. However count on controversy, and plan to climate the backlash.
- You’ll be able to follow allyship by asking questions, checking your privileges, listening to folks and determining what they want.
- Be curious. Be inquisitive about your group, your small business mannequin, your CEO, your viewers and the world round you.

- Microsoft asks: What are the worker impacts (life security, well-being, listening methods and alerts) and what are the enterprise impacts (relevance to firm values, geo-location, exterior conversations) to a change?
- Ideation tells us to ask what we’re writing and why. It helps us perceive what’s altering, what’s enhancing and who we’re celebrating — tying it again to the work our staff do.
- If you face a serious problem, step again and bear in mind all of the progress you made to reach the place you might be. Remembering you’re in the course of a journey towards a bigger objective places issues in perspective.
- All nice leaders are distinctive. All nice persons are distinctive — should you perceive their type and strategy they’ll need to work with you extra. Some will need to collaborate and ideate whereas others will need a fast briefing.
