Leading through a crisis: The importance of executive profiling during the Covid-19 pandemic
April 8, 2020
by Abigail Van-Arnold, Associate Director During this strange new world of social distancing and self-isolation, our lives as we know it have been temporarily turned on their heads. While some short-term lifestyle changes, like only leaving the house once a day are obvious, I find myself noticing smaller habitual changes too. Among these, I’ve realised that I now open marketing emails from companies far more frequently than I used to. Whether it’s emails from my...

Leading With Impact: FleishmanHillard Fishburn launches 2019 Authenticity Gap Report
July 17, 2019
Consumer expectations are higher than ever, and in an age of greater transparency and oversight, companies can no longer say one thing and do another. We expect organisations to be authentic and to have a point of view on the relevant topics that matter most and back up their words with action. If they fail to do so, trust will quickly erode and customers will move elsewhere. Campaigns such as Extinction Rebellion have driven climate change even higher up the global agenda, while issues...

As most thriving organisations hone in on a need to empower and motivate their talent, one could assume the notions of freedom, flexibility, productivity and profitability all sing from one melodic HR hymn sheet. From brainstorming on a beach to parenting with productive panache, countless “think pieces” would have you believe that the professional/personal pieces are falling into place.

Three ways internal communications can support agile operation at scale
July 25, 2018
It’s no secret that large organisations with traditional hierarchies are increasingly being buffeted by disruptive competition and dynamic markets. There’s a strong argument to suggest traditional structures are no longer fit for purpose. Instead, businesses are increasingly looking to adopt agile principles to inform the way they operate, so they can compete more effectively with nimble and disruptive competitors. This way of working holds the promise of “higher team productivity and morale, faster time to...
