Among the first internal communication blogs (started in 2006) for #students, #practitioners and #academia
Read the following FAQs to understand how HQs and global capability centers can engage on internal communications. Why do headquarters sometimes resist strong work coming from India or other geographies? Resistance often stems from insecurity rather than capability concerns. When geographies demonstrate speed, scale, and thought leadership, some headquarters teams fear loss of relevance, diminished […]
What if the biggest challenge in global internal communication is not culture, capability, or maturity, but fear? Having worked across global capability centres in India and Poland, as well as with Indian headquartered organisations, I have seen the same internal communication patterns repeat themselves across geographies, industries, and operating models. The tension between headquarters and […]
How do you capture organizational learning so the next transformation doesn’t start from scratch? Most change management repositories become digital graveyards within months of creation. Folders full of communication templates, training materials, project plans, and presentation decks that nobody ever references again. The knowledge exists, but it’s not accessible when people actually need it. The […]
Another day, another restructure announcement from a major corporation. Thousands of jobs slashed. Contractors shown the door.

Having lived and worked in India, Poland, the UK, and now Australia, I’ve seen how the culture of networking shifts across borders. Among these, Australia stands out, and […]
Having worked with Global Capability Centers (GCCs), across continents, I often see a familiar pattern unfold during office openings, key launches, company events or executive visits. Teams scramble to impress, managers jockey for visibility, and everyone puts on their best face regardless of underlying realities. These orchestrated performances – what many of us privately call […]
Static pages. Clunky navigation. Generic content. If your intranet still looks like this, it’s holding your organization back. In 2025, enterprise intranets are no longer digital filing cabinets. They’re intelligent, dynamic platforms designed to engage, empower, and deliver real business outcomes. Does your intranet measure up, or is it time for a revisit? The Non-Negotiables […]
