The 2023 Edelman Future of Corporate Communications Study confirms what many of us on the inside have noticed: Communication leaders have a more influential seat at the table than ever before. As we chart the course for 2024, communication leaders should not only acknowledge this influence but also strategically leverage it to drive positive outcomes. Here are three considerations, outside the traditional communication strategy approaches, as we navigate the evolving landscape: 1.      Develop comprehensive crisis communication plans that anticipate potential challenges. Conduct regular simulations to test the effectiveness of crisis response strategies. 2.      Build and nurture talent. Invest in professional development opportunities for the communication team and foster a culture of continuous learning to stay ahead of industry changes. 3.      Stay attuned to geopolitical and global economic trends that may impact the business.

Communication is not always what it seems. In our research report launched earlier this summer, we found that today’s executives may not communicate as effectively as they think they do.     💡Although leaders value communication, they see a distinction between communication broadly and their influence as individual communicators. This gap, when not closed, can lead to:  -Workforce turnover  -Strategy misalignment  -Toxic work cultures    ICYMI, learn how you can avoid this gap, and lean into the hard skills of communication to advance a better business and a better world.   Download the full report today: https://lnkd.in/eacbEec4 #SocialImpact #StrategicCommunications #CorporateCommunications #SocialChange
