The Elements of IC has arrived | Alive With Ideas | Internal Communications Tools | Scoop.it

"This new tool is a comprehensive community resource created to simplify the science of IC. It captures the essential elements of IC and collates them all in one place to help people strategise, plan, problem-solve and communicate.

 

The Periodic Table of IC began as a simple listing of elements, and things have certainly moved on. Now communicators can dig deeper into each of these elements to discover, research and explore resources."

This article links to and summarizes what you will find on the website Elements of IC.  The content is split into the following seven categories containing over 150 elements - all leading to a number of related links, articles, videos, visuals and podcasts from diverse sources:

  1. Strategy
  2. Objectives
  3. Themes
  4. Audiences
  5. Formats
  6. Channels
  7. Metrics
Kim Zinke (aka Gimli Goose)'s insight:

I am so excited to see this new iteration!  And it's not finished yet.  You're invited to submit sources and new elements on the website.

 

Kudos to Alive with Ideas and Chuck Gose!
