Best of the best – free management and communication resources that deliver

For every fantastic web resource, insightful blog and great life hack that shows up in a google search there is still a lot of poor quality resources online.
When a resource continues to surprise through it’s quality, breadth, relevance and usefulness, it deserves a link.

BNET is consistent in quality, and a frequent source of tips I share in my work to help leaders communicate more effectively.

There is a subscription e-newsletter that is one of only a handful that I read regularly (rather than deleting or looking for the unsubscribe link).

And unlike other resources (like some that start with r and end with agan) that bombard you with offers and webinar invitations, BNET send their newsletter. And that’s it. Fantastic stuff.

Not to be outdone…Melcrum networking site added to communicators social network sites

Not to be left behind by the good souls at Ragan, the good souls at Melcrum have waded into the social media pool with the launch of the Communicators Network. This site provides integrated links to many of the Melcrum resources.

My home over there is:

Meaning Business joins the Ragan social network

Since it’s launch earlier this year I have been watching Ragan’s new networking site, myragan with interest.
Following the amazing number of new joins in the first days, the site now seems to have settled down to provide a good selection of tools, resources and dialogues.

As an aside, the launch of the site coincided with a review of internet policies by the organisation I am working with currently – and prompted debate as to the barring of social networking sites that have a primary business or professional purpose. The result is that our firewall does allow access to the site, but not to the videos.

Melcrum extend Internal Communication support in Australia

Since 2006, Melcrum have provided the excellent Internal Comms Hub as a digest of their resources as well as articles from the UK an US versions of their publications. Earlier this year, they extended this to cover the Australian market. There is a range of Australian content available.

The move, alongside the steady growth of the local IABC chapters, indicates the continuing development of the internal communication profession within Australia.
