Sir Craig Oliver & IoIC

In June, Evolve partnered former Director of Politics and Communications at No. 10, Sir Craig Oliver, with the Institute of Internal Communications (IoIC). 

This was for the IoIC Festival event which took place over the course of two days at Tewinbury, near Welwyn Garden City. Sir Craig attended the event and delivered a keynote speech on the final day, focussing on the topic of content consumption. He discussed the way content is being consumed, attention deficit, differences in generations, and misinformation and disinformation. Sir Craig seamlessly linked this to the cultural shift in society, in forms such as lack of manners, saying exactly how you ‘feel’ online/emails, cancelling culture and activism. He used this to then discuss what internal communication professionals need to focus on to get the messages heard with these changes, and what does the shift mean for comms overall, also touching on AI. Sir Craig was an ideal speaker for the event and was described by the client as giving an ‘incredible keynote’.
