Social networks are attracting a lot of attention in business, no more so than in the field of organizational communication. In this edition of For Immediate Release podcast interviews, Neville talked with Robin Crumby, Managing Director at London-based research and training firm Melcrum.
Our conversation included discussion about the Melcrum Communicators’ Network – its launch, what’s in it for communicators, where it fits in a crowded social networks space, and what the future might hold.
