Interesting article in the Health Service Journal analysing the change in the NHS in terms of the so-called j-curve. That the NHS is having to pass through the instability phase to get to a fitter state to meet future needs. Kind of similar to what happens with self-empowerment, a neat sounding phrase which disguises the instability you have to go through – anything else just ain’t real.

New internal communciation benchmark data
This internal communciation benchmark data report from Melcrum looks of interest, especially for me having just today launched a website in China – medicexchange:
“The number of internal communicators reporting staff increases in the last year varied across all regions, with the smallest percentage increase being 29% (Rest of World). However, it was respondents in Asia Pacific who reported the highest rate of growth, with 43% of departments reporting an increase in headcount.”
Apparently based on a survey of over 1,100 professional communicators, the report presents detailed information on budgets, salaries, structures and trends in internal communication. The data is also broken down so that you can benchmark with other functions in your industry and region.
PS: The report’s called ‘The Pulse’.
