*** 20/20 Vision: Dreaming a communications future:

I am a believer in vision communications. It’s what we as communicators can do to help leadership articulate and share a vision—an elegant and vivid picture of where an organization needs to be or needs to become at some future time, such as ten years from now. Through effectively communicating that idea, we can help key stakeholders (like employees, investors, the public) be aware, then understand, then believe, and ultimately embrace the vision as their own so that they behave on their own so as to achieve the vision.

Mark Schumman, ABC, is the new chair of IABC, having taken the gavel from Barb Gibson, ABC, at the IABC World Conference in San Francisco last week. Mark has begun his own ongoing commentary to members, communicators, and the business world at large, and has begun articulating that vision. He is creating an image that is elegant and vivid. I already subscribe to this vision, so I don’t need a lot of convincing. But I encourage you to read the blog, and think about this future—where we need to be as a profession and an association that both supports business communicators as well as business communication—by the year 2020.

As many of you know, effective 30 June, I am beginning my tenure as chair of IABC’s Accreditation Council. When you listen to Mark share his vision, you come to know that he values accreditation as a fundamental purpose of IABC in supporting professionals and the profession. Mark and I have discussed this at length, and we share the vision of where we want to be, as well as a path to help us get there.

In the months ahead I’m sure you’ll hear me talking about accreditation and the council’s efforts to advance the process by which communicators can measure themselves by the global standard. We have some very positive research that tells us IABC members value the global standard that the “Accredited Business Communicator” designation has come to stand for, and many of them would like to earn that designation. But they feel the process is cumbersome. We hear you.

I encourage you to read Mark’s comments, and to follow them throughout his year as chair.

Ned: I don't get it. What's so funny?

Mike: Let’s test your funny bone: see if this is funny:

*** Introducing Effective Media Training … Online

It's like a teleseminar, only better. The online version of At Ease With the Media is now available at its own website (www.AtEaseWithTheMedia.com).

This self-study program provides spokespeople with tools and insights to manage exchanges with reporters to win-win outcomes, while applying risk management strategies to protect their reputation and their organization's.

The program consists of 10 audio-visual modules that vary in length from four to 13 minutes and cover a range of topics. Each module is accompanied by a five-question quiz. Spokespeople view the modules and complete the quizzes. Those who earn a combined score of 45/50 receive a Certificate of Completion for the program.

“The quizzes serve two purposes,” says Eric Bergman, ABC, APR, who designed the program and is also author of the train-the-trainer guide Media Training With Excellence: A Balanced Approach (http://iabcstore.com/prmediarelations/mediatraining.htm). “First, they force participants to listen to the information contained in the modules. Second, they help internalize the concepts taught. Testing has shown the program to be extremely effective at achieving both ends.”

The modules cover topic areas that include: Managing Polarization; Working With Reporters; Negotiating the Interview; Print vs Broadcast; and Managing Risk. “Participants have commented that the 'Managing Risk' module alone is worth the cost of the program,” Bergman says.

The program is extremely flexible and adaptable. Organizations can offer all modules to their spokespeople, or only offer specific modules. The online version can be used as stand-alone training, or offered in conjunction with “live” training — either in person or via teleconference.

“The original idea was to bring cost-effective media training to a wide geographic audience,” says Bergman. “And there is no better program available for doing that. But beyond that original aim, At Ease With the Media sets a new standard for media training that helps an organization's spokespeople create strategic outcomes from their exchanges with journalists.”

*** West Coast Trip:

I reported on my flight to SFO via Philadelphia in last week’s issue, and my one-day jaunt to Monterey and taking in the ballgame at Oakland. We stayed in the Marines Memorial Association hotel on Sutter St., a great value and a superb place to stay in San Francisco, right near Union Square. On Saturday the formally tired military people of San Francisco met there to observe the Battle of Midway. Gen. Conway, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, was the guest of honor, so our hotel was a very busy place.

The Saturday night leaders reception was at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, and the Sunday night reception was at the Ferry Terminal at the foot of Market. After hitting the round of receptions on Monday night, I joined up with Connie Eckard, ABC, IABC Fellow, Mary Ann McCauley, ABC, Mary Hlls, ABC, and our partners from Royal Roads University in Victoria, Zoë MacLeod, and David Black, at Annabelle’s, across the street from the Marriott on Fourth.

Our Tuesday night dine-around crowd went to China Eastern in Chinatown. Our dinner was swimming in a tank when we arrived. We ate family style. The most memorable dish was the jellyfish. I can’t say I ever had jellyfish before. Also good was the abalone and duck. My share with everything was just $42. http://www.nedsjotw.com/blog/_archives/2009/6/10/4217005.html.

Eric and I left for the airport Wednesday morning, taking the BART. Trains to the airport come less frequently than I would have thought. I was flying on an upgrade, but the 1st class check-in line was long and only had two agents. The kiosk told me it was too late to check in, but the agent helped me and I just made the flight. Miraculously, the bags arrived in Oxnard when I did, having made the connection in LAX. My old shipmate, Jim Oldham, met me at the airport. “It’s a USS Cochrane tradition,” he reminded me.

I had a great visit to the Naval Surface Warfare Center at Port Hueneme to talk about the Evolved SeaSparrow Missile, the Self-Defense Test Ship and Underway Replenishment.

I had to get to the airport very early on Friday for my 0600 departure to Dulles. The onramp to the 405 was closed coming off the 10 from Santa Monica. I tried going to Century City and turning around, got briefly lost, but couldn’t go south coming from the other direction, either. I had to go north on the 405 and pull a -turn. I was in plenty of time. LAX is busy early in the morning. My bag was thoroughly searched, swabbed and analyzed. I was number on the upgrade list, and couldn’t even get an economy-plus seat. I was in the very last row. The flight was early, my bags were the first ones off and I was home before my wife could kick out the Marine. Just kidding about that last part.

*** Introducing Effective Media Training … Online

It's like a teleseminar, only better. The online version of At Ease With the Media is now available at its own website (www.AtEaseWithTheMedia.com).

This self-study program provides spokespeople with tools and insights to manage exchanges with reporters to win-win outcomes, while applying risk management strategies to protect their reputation and their organization's.

The program consists of 10 audio-visual modules that vary in length from four to 13 minutes and cover a range of topics. Each module is accompanied by a five-question quiz. Spokespeople view the modules and complete the quizzes. Those who earn a combined score of 45/50 receive a Certificate of Completion for the program.

“The quizzes serve two purposes,” says Eric Bergman, ABC, APR, who designed the program and is also author of the train-the-trainer guide Media Training With Excellence: A Balanced Approach (http://iabcstore.com/prmediarelations/mediatraining.htm). “First, they force participants to listen to the information contained in the modules. Second, they help internalize the concepts taught. Testing has shown the program to be extremely effective at achieving both ends.”

The modules cover topic areas that include: Managing Polarization; Working With Reporters; Negotiating the Interview; Print vs Broadcast; and Managing Risk. “Participants have commented that the 'Managing Risk' module alone is worth the cost of the program,” Bergman says.

The program is extremely flexible and adaptable. Organizations can offer all modules to their spokespeople, or only offer specific modules. The online version can be used as stand-alone training, or offered in conjunction with “live” training — either in person or via teleconference.

“The original idea was to bring cost-effective media training to a wide geographic audience,” says Bergman. “And there is no better program available for doing that. But beyond that original aim, At Ease With the Media sets a new standard for media training that helps an organization's spokespeople create strategic outcomes from their exchanges with journalists.”

6.) Project Manager, Communications, Pew Center on the States, Washington, DC

Overview: Pew Center on the States (PCS)

The Pew Center on the States (PCS) works to advance state policies that serve the public interest. PCS conducts highly credible research, brings together diverse perspectives, and analyzes states' experiences to determine what works and what doesn't as part of The Pew Charitable Trusts' broader effort to study and promote nonpartisan policy solutions for pressing and emerging problems affecting Americans.

PCS makes use of the basic tools required to help states explore and advance effective policies, regardless of the issue: credible, timely and user-friendly research; assessments of public support for change; strategic outreach and dissemination to ensure that good information is widely communicated to state decision-makers, media, influential stakeholders and the public; the capacity to bring together diverse perspectives and find common ground; and the ability to identify approaches that have proven successful elsewhere.

PCS tracks and measures how well states are faring in a range of important issues through 50-state assessments, policy briefs, case studies and report cards. Trends to Watch is an integrated research tool that showcases critical areas driving state policy in the 21st century. The Government Performance Project measures and grades states on how efficiently and effectively they operate, and helps states learn from one another to improve their performance.

Through research and a network of state-based partners PCS hones in on policy areas of critical importance to advance effective policy solutions. PCS operates major initiatives in early education, sentencing and corrections, and election reform. PCS also partners with other Pew projects in areas such as such as climate change and states' response to the foreclosure crisis. While these issues are quite different, the projects have several important elements in common. All are grounded in credible, rigorous, nonpartisan research, focus on pragmatic solutions, and shine a spotlight on states that have succeeded so that other states can learn about effective approaches. They also engage a diverse range of partners in the states and at the national level.

PCS staff have expertise in research, communications, convenings and coalition building; those engaged in issue-specific projects have deep substantive expertise.

Pew Center on the States – Children's Portfolio

Seven years ago, Pew established a national initiative to advance quality pre-kindergarten for all 3 and 4 year olds. Through the success of this campaign, now housed in PCS, Pew has established a strong reputation for successfully advancing smart state policies and practices that help young children become healthy, productive adults. Today, PCS has multiple efforts underway to advance critical issues for kids. All employ the same creative approach, disciplined message on the fiscal benefits of research-based investments, and sophisticated cross-state advocacy that have made our preschool initiative so effective.

In 2006, Pew joined with other funders to create the Partnership for America's Economic Success, a four-year effort to research the economic returns to investments in children prenatal to age five.

In June, we launched two new advocacy campaigns: to improve access to dental care for disadvantaged children and to expand proven home visiting services for at-risk families.

In addition, Pew expects to continue its pre-kindergarten campaign at full funding for another two years, with a phase-out period starting in 2011.

To make all of this work more effectively and capitalize on what we have learned through our preschool initiative, PCS is consolidating our kids-focused projects into one children's portfolio. The projects will work collaboratively, sharing experience and expertise across topic areas. Some staff will work across all projects, while others will be dedicated largely to a particular project but invited and expected to collaborate for the benefit of the overall portfolio. In addition, each project will work closely with, and benefit from, PCS' Research and Development unit and Communications staff.

Project Description: Pre-K Now

Pre-K Now was created as a part of a major grant-making strategy of The Pew Charitable Trusts. It was Pew's original vision to educate national and state leaders and the public about research-based policies that support voluntary access to high-quality pre-kindergarten for all three- and four-year-old children in this nation.

Pre-K Now's mission is to collaborate with advocates and policymakers to lead a movement for high-quality, voluntary pre-kindergarten for all three and four year olds. We pursue this goal by:

providing financial and technical assistance to advocates and other leaders in targeted states to educate policymakers and the public about the benefits of quality public pre-kindergarten programs;

strengthening the capacity and skills of early childhood advocates and state leaders to lead policymaker and public education efforts; and

waging a targeted effort to educate and mobilize key sectors of the public and policymakers at the national level about the severity of the American school readiness problem and the potential that high-quality pre-kindergarten for all has for addressing the problem and boosting K-12 student achievement for all children.

Isis-WICCE's mission is to promote justice and empowerment through documenting women’s human rights violations and facilitate the exchange of skills and information.
