Steve Knight has
been commissioned to write and edit a book - Thought Leadership
The Rise and Rise Of Internal Communication. The publication is
timed to be produced for the 2009 British Association of Communicators
in Business (CiB) conference next May and will look back at the organization's
last 60 years, as well as charting the changes in the internal communications
industry over the period. Historian David Knight is also involved in
the project.
Knight Train's consultation
arm has been helping the Co-operative Financial Services to improve
its, already excellent, open magazine. Editor Danny Fontana contacted
Knight Train after attending a course where Steve Knight was the tutor.
Knight
Train and Consult Ltd has retained the editorship of communicators
magazine - flagship publication of the British Association of Communicators
in Business (CiB) - after a competitive pitch.
"I am delighted," said Steve. "Going to competitive pitch
is always nerve-wracking, but designer Amelia Clark and I had been planning
our campaign for months and had put together what we believed was a
very competitive package.
Headline
writing is the latest course to be launched under the Knight Train
& Consult Ltd portfolio. The half-day course looks at the differences
between writing headlines for news, features, people stories and for
electronic publications. It examines different techniques involved and
offers practical advice on what can and can't be improved.
Steve
has been delighted, recently, to be part of a team working on two different
website projects for the British Government. "The Government is
very keen to make sure that all its communication is as clear as possible
and it has been great to have been involved," said Steve.
Steve
continues to work for Rolls-Royce Defence Aerospace and has just been
commissioned for another year to write and sub-edit stories for the
Bristol site's printed newsletter and intranet publication.
