Internal comms and the Sony email hack: what we’ve learned | Limehouse

Internal comms and the Sony email hack: what we’ve learned | Limehouse | Internal Communications Tools | Scoop.it
From www.limehouse.tv - January 29, 2015 2:00 AM

"One of the biggest news stories of 2014 involved the hack of Sony Pictures’ email accounts, supposedly perpetrated by a terror group with links to North Korea. The Sony hack is the stuff of internal comms nightmares, but there are numerous lessons we can all learn from this sorry tale."


Read the full article to find out more about these lessons we can learn from the Sony hacks:

  • Internal comms don’t stay internal
  • Embarrassment is the least of your worries
  • Professionalism is everything
  • Consider your audience
  • Managing the aftermath
Kim Zinke (aka Gimli Goose)'s insight:

I think what's so shocking for me is the content in some of those emails.  Why was that acceptable?  It certainly wasn't professional.


That aside, consider putting all your communications through the outsider test.  Look at the communication and ask"what would an outsider think if they read this?"  If it could be miscontrued, considered offensive, or hurtful, then rework it.

Wonderful and highly inspirational video. Reminds us all to strive for authentic and purposful communication. So chose your words wisely. They are extremely powerful.

Kim Zinke (aka Gimli Goose)'s insight:

A favourite video of mine.  I've watched it many a time when I need a reminder that what I do as a communicator is important.  For a interesting tidbit on the back story to this video, read Karen Dietz's March 12 comment below.

I'm sharing this courtesy of Karen Dietz and Ken Mikkelson - which only proves how worthwhile it is to check out what other people are discovering and writing about on the web. Karen's take is that of a storyteller -business person. Mine is as an artist; where communication is essential and has the potential to be equally compelling. How can we as artists strive for authentic and purposeful communication?


I will hazard a guess that compelling artwork begins in my head as an idea, migrates down through my chakras/system to my heart, where it engages me emotionally, and then lifts unstoppably into my Will - or throat - where it manifests as a proclamation of what I intend to make next.Perhaps that part is sometimes a silent proclamation, but when it happens I know it.


Does your Artist Self recognize this chain of events in you? If not, pay closer attention next time an idea arises and see where it leads.


Thanks to Karen and Ken for a big lift to my afternoon!
