Continuous journey

The BBC is looking for a Senior Advisor, Internal Communications and Engagement. This is to support the Head of Internal Communications and Engagement, who in turn reports to the Director of Internal Communications and Engagement. Apparent the Senior Advisor (henceforward SAICE) will actually create and deliver creative engagement campaigns.

Until June this year, Sao Bui Van was Acting DICE, but he's now left for the British Council. I can find no announcement of a successor. Heather Wagoner arrived as HICE in July; she's an American with a BA in journalism from Ohio State, who's previously worked for Rolls Royce and Transport for London. She's now based in Lichfield, which is handy for the new HR Central in the wide-open spaces of BBC Birmingham. She has a blog, "Communicate for Success"; I particularly enjoyed the post "Three Killer Questions to Help Fight Organisational Inertia".

You can hear from Heather at the PR Week Strategic Internal Comms conference in November, for an earlybird rate of £549. Here's her billing..

More than a presentation, concentrating on a specific time of change (a restructure for example), this final speech will leave you empowered to manage your continuous journey of change.
