Many comms managers and leaders are finding themselves without a roadmap for AI implementation. Junior roles are changing, rapidly, and pressure to 'use the tools' is frequently outpacing strategic or ethical reflection necessary to enable your team to adapt. In this provocative and practical session, Emily Makere Broadmore (Director of Heft Communications) introduces the Heft Framework - an approach they are using to support AI adoption in communications teams with intention, clarity and care. Drawing on Heft’s leadership across government and industry, Emily explores how AI is reshaping job descriptions, team structures, and the unwritten rules of professional development - particularly for young people.
Led by professional director and PRINZ Life Member Tracey Bridges, this short course answers all your questions about how to work well with Boards, and – for those who are interested – how to move into a governance career. It will touch on key aspects of Governance practice. It will comprise a presentation and plenty of time for questions, answers and discussion.
Knowing how to edit writing – whether it’s your own or someone else’s – is a crucial skill to have, yet it’s rarely taught. This fun and practical course covers the essentials, including how to tighten sentences, writing in the active voice, using positive phrasing and writing strong intros. The course is filled with practical exercises – as soon as a technique is taught, you’ll then be able to practice it.
The podcasting wave is yet to hit New Zealand in the same way it’s hit the US and UK. Brands here are slowly realising the power of using podcasting to deliver their messaging directly to their clients, colleagues or constituents. There are two main ways brands can operate in this space. One is to advertise their brand on an existing podcast, the other is to have their own branded podcast. Andy can talk you through the pros and cons of both and will also show you how easy it is to start your own branded podcast and how to maximise its reach and engagement.
