Analysis of internal communication to identify improvements

The first step of internal communication improvement is the assessment of the current situation. The internal communication analysis will give the in-depth understanding of the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities that characterize the existing IC practice in your company. As part of the analysis, it is possible to identify what improvements will strengthen IC practice.


Upon the customer's request, the analysis can be implemented in different ways:

  • Surveying employees on various aspects related to internal communication;

  • Interviewing employees and managers of different levels for in-depth study of IC practice;

  • A focus group interview to solve an internal communication problem;

  • Analysis of internal communication channels and measures to identify improvements.

Ieva  demonstrated the new vision of how to communicate in a way that I could be heard, trusted and have the opportunity to cooperate effectively. Ieva's strength is a natural ability to achieve results and give the necessary impetus at the right moment.

Over the past ten years, I have founded or helped develop several media companies, but every company reaches the point when decisive decisions regarding change must be made. I highly appreciate Ieva's practical and academic knowledge. Ieva let us see the possibilities already during the first consultations. It inspired me and allowed me to direct the development of the company in the right direction. I believe that change is a complex team effort, and Ieva is part of this team.

We cooperated with Ieva for the second time. The workshop on delegation led by Wina had a long-term positive effect. Employees also enjoyed the training process itself. Loved this feedback workshop too! I recommend Ieva as a good internal communication coach.
