IC Kollectif wins prestigious 2019 Gold Quill Award of Excellence
We’re thrilled to announce that Lise Michaud, Founder of IC Kollectif, was awarded a Gold Quill Award of Excellence by the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) for the global publication ‘Disrupting the Function of IC – A Global Perspective.’
For more than 40 years, IABC’s Gold Quill Awards have recognized excellence in strategic communication worldwide and are acknowledged as one of the most prestigious awards programs in the industry.
About the book
The internal communication profession faces multiple, increasing challenges due to technology impacts, the convergence and integration of communication disciplines, and ongoing needs in employee engagement and advocacy. The 222-page ebook offers insights and advice, raising issues that communication professionals cannot ignore to build credibility for individuals and the profession as a key driver of business results.
The inaugural publication brings together thirty senior communication professionals from North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia. The foreword is written by Professor Anne Gregory, Past Chair of the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management (GA) and Professor of Corporate Communication at the University of Huddersfield.
Disrupting the Function of IC is used as a Course Text in a number of Post-Graduate PR & Corporate Communication Programs and is also recommended as an educational resource for professional development by the GA and CIPR Inside.
Some comments from IABC Gold Quill evaluators
"An excellent book was created - fully supporting the purpose set out in the beginning.”
