		<description><![CDATA[When the messages become so blurred, disparate and even meaningless, surely it’s time to retire the brand. Such is the case with the “Occupy” movement in this country.

The background to this is the EQC’s presentation to field staff on Monday reminding them of the organisation’s responsibilities to the media and that media enquiries [...]]]></description>

The iPads were preloaded with key information new members could refer to during their induction programme.

		<description><![CDATA[It is hard not to feel that that the 2011 General Election has descended into farce.  We’re now ten days out from the Election, and for nigh on three days our politicians aided and abetted by the national media have given us a diet of irrelevancy about a tape of a private conversation.

		<description><![CDATA[All the professionals I’ve spoken to agree that Vector, and particularly its chief, Simon Mackenzie, did an excellent job of communicating during the gas supply crisis. That is why it was surprising  to read that the organisation had been quick to “admit communication errors”, and was undertaking a formal review of its communication process.
