The 3Es of Communications: Making Change Work
Do you know what the 3Es of communications are? Yeah, I am not sure I do either, so maybe I will see you at this month's Minnesota IABC meeting where they will be discussing how to use the 3Es (education, engagement and empowerment) to make changes happen in your organization. Barbara Jacobs of Deloitte & Touche will be presenting.
