Some months back I decided to start looking more into the the Internal Side of Public Affairs - the challenges and opportunities that we face with our internal stakeholders and organisations. That has led to 15 posts, 3 webinars and one barometer and so many interesting connections and conversations. I have really enjoyed this process to date and it has really demonstrated to me the interest and appetite to do more in this area. Here is what I have posted to date:

1. Having a Public Affairs Way/Method

2. Why Reporting Lines Matter

3. Public Affairs Onboarding (Internal)

4. The Curse of Public Affairs Professionals

5. Public Affairs Professionals need to speak P&L

6. Why all Public Affairs teams need an internal role

7. Measuring Public Affairs Success: Key Metrics and Limitations

8. Chat GPT and Public Affairs

9. Breaking the Silence: Why Failure Needs to Take Center Stage in Public Affairs

10. Public Affairs and adjacent functions: Friends or foes?

11. Why Reporting Lines Matter: Direct or Indirect Reporting Lines?

12. What is Value in Public Affairs Work and How to Find it?

13. The Power of Vision and Mission Statements in Public Affairs

14. Protecting and Enhancing Trade Association Value

15. Engaging with extreme politicians: A current dilemma for companies & associations
