They have to cope with continual change, absorb new technologies, manage learning and the multitude of knowledge gained, adopt new structures, strengthen their identity, promote diversity and involve employees - often at an intercultural level and in a very short time. Internal communication is one of the main solutions to all these problems. • “How well we communicate is determined not by how well we talk, but by how well we are understood” (Andy Grove).
