★★★★ · Still relevant today · Kim Payne · 2018-05-31
I happened across this film by accident and it is still as relevant today as when it was made in '59 - coincidentally the same year I was made! Whilst the delivery channels have changed a bit, the core messaging is pretty much what Internal Communications practitioners use today to form their IC strategy. The only real difference is brevity. If we made that film today it would be around 3 mins with a 60-second version for skimmers.

Not a bad animated film about the importance of clarification of communication. Though these types of films tend to be boring to me, this does have some good points.
