Advait Dikshit, Director of AND Consulting, mentor, professional coach, Anahat-Certified MBTI (India)

The Evolving role of an Internal communicator

Sujit Patil, Vice President Corporate Communications, Godrej Industries Limited (India)

The innovative employee communications tool – Theatre. The presenter has used it over past 9 years to engage employees across segments (shop floor workers, unskilled workforce and even the white collared employees). The effectiveness has proved high not only for employees segments that do not have access to intranets and English newsletters due to language issues, but also across all the other employee segments.

Elena Brandt and Ekaterina Lavrova, #WCFDavos Team Members

Dura Lex. State regulations for the comms industry: Internet, Media, Business.

Elena Brandt and Ekaterina Lavrova, #WCFDavos Team Members

This time Lena Brandt and Ekaterina Lavrova asked #WCFDavos the Question: How does the regulation of the media evolve? They invited communicators from Europe, Asia and Africa to play in the Dura Lex game, creating a model of the evolving of independent media in a state.

The game rules were that the government issued all laws, while the nation had a bunch of industry areas and interests of their own, but the only means of communication between the people and the government was “The DURALEX Tribune” newspaper, where just participants wearing newspaper-hats could write…

For a period of three game-rounds, the first government was unanimously voted off-power, due to not being communicative enough and not making an official statement. After a while, the media eventually formed its own team, yet opposition blogs also evolved, blaming the media for being corrupted.

The second government held fast to its authority, keeping 41% of the people’s votes. The winners were the Scientists, Local Producers, and Railway companies. Òhe Gov authorities decided against trying to regulate the media.

The game went under the slogan "Who the hell is the media?"
20 Communications Directors, who preferred to join the game at 8 am on 11 March enjoyed their time like kids, saying afterwards "It was great fun!"

Rana Nejem, Founding Director of  YARNU, The Art of Social Intelligence (Jordan)

Cross-cultural communications

Rana Nejem, Founding Director of YARNU, The Art of Social Intelligence (Jordan)

Communications should definitely be cross-cultural, so that every culture/region retains its specific features when trying to decode their own message in the interaction with other cultures, and vice versa, when trying to translate other cultures' messages into the common local code.

Global communications

Dr. Volker Stoltz, President and founder of the Global Communication Institute, economist, entrepreneur, a renowned authority in Global Communications Strategies, initiator and supervisor of the Global Communication project and lecturer in International P

Global PR is of course by definition cross-cultural. If you expect getting common understanding in the future, there is no such thing as 'global village culture' in which you speak the Lingua Franca English, eat Hamburgers and watch Hollywood films. In other words: I do not recognize any contrast between global and cross-cultural, but rather view global communications as a globally directed concert of local communications.

What Influences Trust in a brand?

Saurabh Uboweja, Founder, CEO & Director Brand Strategy at Brands of Desire (India)

Mark Twain has said it: never let the truth stand in the way of a good story! Without the real touch of a product/service, or without any experiences to support it, the brand is a myth in the mind of the consumer. The gap between perceived and real is the gap between communications and experience. Which of the two will play a greater role in building trust in brands of the 21st century? Shall truth meet the story?
