The Forum on Strategic Communication Leadership is designed to complement CCI's Corporate Communication Leaders Forum offered annually since 2001. This Forum is an intensive professional and academic seminar focusing on corporate communication's strategic adaptation to the current business and communication environment by examining the issues of leadership, context, culture, models of practice and performance.

The Forum on Strategic Communication Leadership explores the themes in Michael B. Goodman and Peter B. Hirsch's book, Corporate Communication: Strategic Adaptation for Global Practice (Peter Lang, 2010) and its companion book forthcoming in 2014,  Corporate Communication: Critical Business Asset for Strategic Global Change. They are:

• Leadership:  What core competencies, styles of leadership, and personal characteristics are needed to adapt to the current business and communication environment?
• Context:  How do we adapt corporate communication strategies to the forces shifting the business and communication context in which corporate communication is now practiced?
• Culture: How do we adapt to a global networked corporation while engaging stakeholders across the globe?
• Models of practice:  What historical practices still work? What new ways of practice do we need to adopt?
• Performance:  What measures now benchmark performance success?

Forum faculty members are practicing professionals in leadership roles in corporations, agencies, academia and professional organizations. To learn more about the Forum's faculty and program details visit the Strategic Forum page of CCI's website.
