		<description><![CDATA[When I started out in the world of internal communication, it very quickly became abundantly clear that IC is a tricky juggling act. In many companies, IC teams are small, sometimes relying on a sole practitioner or even having IC as part of someone&#8217;s &#8216;real&#8217; day-to-day job. This means that just being able to write [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thesearenotthedroids.wordpress.com&amp;blog=14015145&amp;post=66&amp;subd=thesearenotthedroids&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Engagement is a word which has a thousand definitions if you speak to Internal Communications professionals. At the moment it seems like the Comms fashion to dislike the word or disapprove of its use.
