Infographic: Huddle Up! 10 Ways to Embrace the Power of the Pow Wow 

Along with a fair amount of fish, life for the average penguin is all about change. Their environment is constantly shifting……

The same can be said for the majority of internal communicators too – change is very much the new norm.

But one key theme of IC that isn’t likely to be shifting any time soon is face-to-face communication – there’s no better way to communicate. Frequent and regular time with managers to help employees understand what’s going on in the business and provide context and meaning will likely form an essential part of any communication strategy.

Our latest infographic takes a penguin’s eye view of the team huddle, and shares some of the tips and ideas that we as comms pros can pass on to managers and team leaders looking to maximise on those face-to-face moments.

We’ve taken our visual inspiration from John Kotter’s Our Iceberg is Melting, which waddles through a powerful framework for influencing teams using some rather clever tactics… and it’s packed full of penguins too 🙂

 

“I feel like they own and care for the project as much as we do! I would not use anyone else for my creative work and think Alive is ahead of the game.”

Jo Hobbs | Communications Manager

“Alive wowed us during the pitch process and they didn’t stop wowing us throughout the whole project. Every person we worked with at Alive were so friendly, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they do. They have worked with us to really understand what we do and have created a new brand and website that really stands out from our competitors. Thank you!”

Louise Burnard, Head of Marketing and Communications UK — Be | Shaping the Future

“Alive worked seamlessly as an extension of our team, quickly understanding our business and customers. They’re reliable, patient and consistently follow through, embracing the revision process, which is invaluable for complex projects like a rebrand and website refresh.”

Emily Stoten | Marketing Director

“The whole project was amazing!…
As part of our team, Alive armed us with everything we needed. We didn’t have to do all the thinking and driving – Alive did this for us.”

Julie Taylor | Head of Group Communications

“Outstanding! Informative, developmentally appropriate, vitally fun and engaging. We really value Alive’s innovative approach.”

Kath Evans | Director of Children’s Nursing

“It was a pleasure working with Alive. They were responsive, collaborative, and delivered exactly what we needed. They worked closely to the brief, took on feedback thoughtfully, and brought the campaign to life in a way that was both clear and impactful. ”
