Communication for Impact
Organisations and leaders often spend a lot of time and money aiming to get their messages out. But do the messages have the desired impacts?
Our work helps organisations and leaders to communicate, evaluate and improve their communications.

In 2024, the Centre helped to developed the GCS Evaluation Cycle which guides the planning, spending and evaluation of an annual budget of 300 million pound across 400 different government departments.
From 2025-2030, the Centre is committed to furthering knowledge and improving the impact of government communications across areas that include counter-terrorism, public health, foreign direct investment, education, road safety, tax paying, tourism and countering dis-information.
Achieving positive policy outcomes through effective government communications through engagement with the Government Communication Service (GCS), research by Professor Kevin Money, Professor Carola Hillenbrand, and Professor Abby Ghobadian, and Dr Anastasiya Saraeva and Dr Irene Garnelo-Gomez , from the John Madejski Centre for Reputation (JMCR) at Henley Business School has informed communication strategies across UK government departments and platforms.
