Nigel Miller: Commonwealth HR
Bringing people together is a theme that runs through the career of Nigel Miller. An experienced cross-functional executive, Nigel has a breadth of experience that spans Human Resources, Marketing & Public Relations with some of the world’s leading brands, including Coca Cola, Anheiser Busch & Weber Shandwick.
Now as Senior Advisor, Employee Experience with Edelman, a global communications firm of 6,000, Nigel advises other organizations on topics ranging from corporate culture change, employee experience, and employer branding.
The similarities between Marketing & HR are striking when viewed through a certain lens. Each is tasked with influencing outcomes without authority - a competency that grows in importance as organizational structures become more flat. Each counts segmentation of audience, curation of messaging and storytelling as necessary elements to drive awareness.
Organizations that treat them disparately miss a real opportunity to drive synergies through the sharing of knowledge, skills and resources. They also assume a heightened risk that messaging will be misaligned. And when your outside voice doesn’t match your inside voice, you lose all credibility. In today’s landscape, that destroys organizations.
Over the next 40 minutes we get into it, discussing everything from the influence of technology in supporting broader organizational strategy, to the importance of quantifiable measures in assessing its impact.
