Overview
What are senior leaders looking for from their communications teams during organisational change? What do we need to keep top of mind as we partner with executives to support the success of change initiatives?
Join PRINZ Wellington for breakfast, networking and a panel discussion with two senior comms and change leaders about their experiences working around the top table and advising executive leadership teams.
We’ll be chatting about what an effective partnership between comms and exec teams looks like during change, how to show up in a way that adds value, and how to look after ourselves when the going gets tough.
Thank you to Beyond Recruitment for hosting this event.
