Internal Communication Ideas - 10 Simple Secrets to Totally Rock Your Interna...Axero Solutions
A good internal communication strategy makes good business sense.
If your employees are communicating effectively, you’ll have a highly-committed and well-performing workforce. Effective communication also creates a can-do culture and leads to a learning organization.
If you want to totally rock how your management team and employees communicate, here are 10 internal communication ideas to get you started.
We’ve come up with a list of common business communication questions and how their solutions will fit into your internal communication strategy.
The way you communicate, and what you communicate, shapes how your employees feel about working there. Yet organizations often fail to prioritize corporate communication, to the detriment of their entire workplace culture.
Regular communication with employees sends the message that you value them as whole people. And consistent, meaningful communication can strengthen the employee-employer relationship. And when that relationship is strong, everyone wins: the employees, the employer, and the customers, clients, or patients.
You’ll come away from this webinar with immediately-useful tips and insider tricks from our 30+ years of experience producing engaging employee communications and leave with a blueprint of how to produce your own communications, or evaluate a vendor’s options, plus creative options.

Impact Workshop Slides - Taylor Newberry Consulting
1. If Demonstrating Impact Seems
Boring, You’re Doing it Wrong
A PRESENTATION FOR THE
OVCN INNOVATION & ACTION!
CONFERENCE
2. Pre - Test
! When someone says “lets talk about demonstrating
impact,” I:
Get excited and energized.
! Get moderately enthusiastic.
! Picture my long to do list getting even longer, sigh, and say
“Ok, sure. I guess that’d probably be a good thing for me to
think about.”
! Make a mental note to bring my phone to the meeting so I can
get caught up on some emails.
! Think “just kill me now.”
!
6. Setting the stage for good program monitoring
1.
2.
3.
Get buy-in first.
Make sure you and your partners
understand your program and its
outcomes clearly and consistently.
Remember that the key is using the
data, not gathering the data. You
don’t necessarily need to gather more
data.
8. Thinking About Use before You Start
! Who do you want to act on the
basis of your outcome
measurement findings?
! How do you want them to act?
9. Why are people not interested
in outcome measurement?
We tend to
assume:
But the real reasons may be:
They don’t have
the training to
understand
They know that the big decisions aren’t really based
on outcome measurement findings (despite the
rhetoric).
They aren’t
interested in
learning
They see measurement as complicated, dry and
boring. They don’t see how it will help them to
learn.
They’ve got
something to
hide
They worry that people won’t understand the
context. They are afraid of being unfairly judged.
They are too
busy
They see no tangible “payoff” for the significant time
investment.

11. Make Sure You Understand the
Program Clearly and Consistently
CLARIFYING THEORIES OF CHANGE
12. Theories of Change
! The beliefs or assumptions that inform the
design of a program or an intervention
! In particular, those beliefs and assumptions
about how change happens, and how the
intervention will lead to change.
! Sometimes theories of change are very
explicit and structured, but sometimes they
are implicit and emergent.

15. Breaking Down the Complexity
What were we trying to change?
(Long-Term Outcome Objectives)
Did our program have
an impact???
What particular contribution were we
going to make to that change?
(Short-Term Outcome Objectives)
How were we planning to make that
contribution? (Activities)
What sorts of things would we see if
the expected change was
happening? (Indicators)
How can we document those
observations in a systematic way?
(Methods)
16. Problems with Logic Models
! They are dense
! They are abstract
! They talk about change in a very linear, mechanical
way
! They are good for getting your own thinking
organized, but not so good for communicating with
outsiders, especially if those outsiders ALSO have a
complex program logic model that they want to
communicate with YOU.

community, although I
recognize that this goal may

18. Yes! There’s a great

work?
Me too, actually!
I’d love to live
downtown someday.

Sounds great! I’ve
been wanting to get

19. What are the most important shared short-term
outcomes for volunteer centres?
What are the short-term outcomes we are well
positioned to achieve that “plug in” to the shared
“collective theory of change?”
What are the shared outcomes that the community has
identified as important? What is the shape of the
“collective theory of change?”
20. The Really Useful Idea
Identify short-term outcome objectives that are
within your control, measurable and achievable,
and use a theory of change to explain how these
short-term achievements contribute to the
achievements of collective outcomes over time.
21. What do we do?
What do we do?
What’s the big,

the community?

What do we do?
22. 3. Remember that the key is
using the data, not gathering the
data.
MAKING SMART USE OF SIMPLE DATA
23. What are Indicators?
! Bits of information that provide part of
the answer to one of your questions
! Things you can see or touch or hear –
things that are observable in the world
and don’t involve ‘interpretation’
! Are often numbers but can also be (e.g.)
stories, quotations, examples, pictures
24. Indicators are a Useful Idea
Because...
! They help to break down the complex task of
“outcome measurement” into manageable
chunks
! They help others to understand what you
mean in practical terms when you talk about
a particular outcome
! They help you build up a strong meaurement
plan by combining different kinds of
information from several sources

29. Measuring outcomes through ongoing program
monitoring
! Carried out by program staff and
volunteers on a routine basis
! Simple, easy to use methods
! Focused on short-term outcomes
! Usually measures a few basic things
well, rather than many different things
30. Measuring outcomes through ongoing program
monitoring
! Ideally, becomes a seamless element of
program delivery
! Periodic analysis of data
! Focuses on ongoing improvement of
programs

What is the
simplest, least
intrusive method?
33. Its all about “messaging”
! The key to powerful communication about
evaluation findings is to know:
Who your audience is
! What that audience is already passionate about, and how that
passion connects to your work
! How you want them to act with the knowledge you give them
! How you can present your information in the way that
maximizes the chances of them acting
!
36. The challenges
! Steep learning curve
! Time consuming
! Different expectations from different funders
! Lack of control over what you measure and how you measure it
! Funders that demand certain indicators but don’t explain what
they think those indicators mean
! Differing jargon across funders
! Knowing how much measurement is “enough” and what type is
expected
! Poor quality of data
! Lack of obvious “payoff”
37. The (potential) benefits
! More mindful practice
! more engaged, satisfied staff and volunteers
! A better sense of “where you fit” in the system of services and
supports
! Improved programming; more benefits for the
people you serve
! Improved capacity to explain the value of your work
to donors, volunteers, board members, and the
general public
