Event synopsis:
‘Organisational communication in 2020: A view into the future’
Social Media for organisational communication is much talked about topic of the moment. Much of the discussion and debate is around tools and what they can do for organisations / individuals now. However, what does it all mean for the future? Is this just the start of an emerging pattern that will fundamentally change the way organisations talk internally and externally? What might the future hold for employee engagement?
Join David Galipeau, from eighty20.org / United Nations / Academia for a mini exposition into the future of Communications. In the futuristic spirit, he’ll be joining us from Geneva over a live video link to deliver a short overview of where he sees communications of the future heading.
Example topics will include:
- How everyone will have their own ‘Facebook’
- A world with multiple parallel internets.
- What will corporate espionage look like? Examples from today.
- Organisations of the future - what will become of corporations, NGOs and government.
- Is the Matrix on its way?
- Virtual Worlds of the future?
Following a short introduction, we’ll move into a facilitated discussion where London members can ask questions of David directly.
This month’s food and drink will be sponsored by YooDoo – LACG regular Nick Saalfeld’s new venture. Nick and his colleagues have been working on this new e-learning and knowledge distribution system for two years – and will be giving LCEG members a sneak pre-release demonstration!
http://www.modcommslimited.com will be organiser as usual.
