The IC Crowd

Today is the final day of The IC Crowd. We’ve had a blast over the past 10 years & it’s been our pleasure to serve the internal comms community here & with The Big Yak. This account will now be inactive but you can connect with each of us @AllthingsIC @mrsjennifield @danaleeson

@Kaz_Elgood @theICcrowd Hi Kaz, companies often use software like Slido. It helps you collate questions and they can be voted up by attendees, to gauge popularity.

Hi @theICcrowd - sad to see you go soon but a Q before you do - do you have any recommends on how to run engaging virtual all-colleague calls with a live Q&A function? Any tech you’ve used or ways you’ve seen it done brilliantly? Thanks! 😊

Today we delivered the left over swag bags from #TheBigYak to a local food bank. All the left over swag was returned to sponsors as well so nothing wasted and everything re-used! #DoingOurBit

If you joined us last week or for any previous #TheBigYak event, please take a few minutes to give us your feedback. We are keeping this survey open until 22 October commsfeedback.typeform.com/to/USKu2sZm

It was funny being at the #TheBigYak where people were talking about Channel 4 and knowing we had this episode coming out. Anyway, hope my IC crew like it @theICcrowd @ciprinside. We have the former Comms Director of Channel 4 on apple.co/3FO6VWd (I can keep secrets)

@theICcrowd - I know comms folks can hook a girl up here. I'm looking to have a small order of hoodies and badges made (we're trying to promote good writing skills among our staff). We need a quick turnaround and good quality. Any recommendations?

@Kabutakapua @mrsjennifield @danaleeson Thank you!

@theICcrowd @mrsjennifield @danaleeson Done!

Was great to see so many #internalcomms pros at #TheBigYak on Saturday. Any top takeaways you would like to share?

#TheBigYak unconference from the @theICcrowd returned on Saturday 9 October, bringing communicators together to discuss hot topics in the internal comms space. Take a look at the highlights here: bit.ly/3iVAL1c #internalcomms #internalcommunications

Our website has been updated with pics from #TheBigYak on Saturday. Thank you Thomas @TyneSightPhoto.

#Internalcomms learning to put into practice in my work. Be brave! Experiment, test and learn: 1 hybrid events; 2 behavioural science. Improve listening. Step up to change. Have a clearer intention for line manager comms; get their input. #TheBigYak

Thank you to the wonderful @_ICCrowd, the facilitators, sponsors and fellow IC pros for an A-MA-ZING day at #TheBigYak! My mind is fizzing at the tangible actions I can take to change and improve 😃

Behaviour change/ science + comms resources discussed at #TheBigYak COM-B behaviourchangewheel.com/about-wheel GCS gcs.civilservice.gov.uk/guidance/marke… Inside the nudge unit goodreads.com/book/show/2617… I'm sure @benjaminellis will have more ;-)

Reflections on #TheBigYak - sharing, openess & collaboration through & through - the IC community is fab! We covered so much ground, it was refreshing to have rich conversations face to face - online events just aren't the same. @mrsjennifield @AllthingsIC @danaleeson thank you!

As mentioned at #TheBigYak in a few discussions about #InternalComms career development, here’s the IoIC/VMA hiring guide👇

I may not have travelled far this morning to get to the #TheBigYak but I reckon I win the prize for taking my goody bag the furthest tonight! Just touched down in Tallinn. Thanks to all the organisers, great event
