Join us and Jonathan Charles for our last Connect event of 2012 on 29th November. Networking over nibbles and drinks will follow afterwards.

The changing balance of power in communication and information delivery

Jonathan will draw on his background and experience in journalism with the BBC and in his current role as Director of Communications at EBRD to illustrate how the power in creating information has shifted from journalism to corporate communications.

The role of the Communications Director is far more complex now with fragmented audiences and a wider range of channels to monitor and use, thanks in part, to the rise of social media. He will look at how the effects of this impact on the information and knowledge professional in particular the validation of information in this vast ocean of available content through the use of trusted guides and the importance of moving away from presenting our internal business clients with vast complex reports and towards providing more succinct snapshots of information into which our clients can choose to delve further if they need to.
