Get set for Black Belt Australia

By Alex Manchester, Editor, KM Review & The Internal Comms Hub (Australia), Melcrum

Next week sees the launch of the Internal Communication Black Belt program in Australia. While in Melbourne for the first of our social media workshops last week (more on those soon), I managed to catch up with the two Aussie Black Belt trainers, Melissa Dark and Adrian Cropley, for a brief interview that we recorded.

Black Belt starts in Sydney on the 1st November, with a Melbourne course set for February 2008. As Melissa and Adrian say in the interview, there's nothing like this in Australia yet and it's going to set precedents for communications training here.

Sue Dewhurst and Liam Fitzpatrick already run the original, UK Black Belt programme (and blog about it here) and to build on that with an Asia-Pacific version is something we're really looking forward to.
