The BCI has been investigating ways in which it can better serve the needs of our member community for dynamic content - which is timely, relevant, reactive where necessary, and current. This means that our focus on providing our members with exclusive information will be focused online with an enhanced member-only content stream.

The traditional quarterly membership magazine has been a part of the Institute for many years providing knowledge and content to its thousands of readers.

Print magazines though come with many challenges in today’s world. Often articles are written months before the magazine ends up in the hands of the reader, making the content somewhat dated before it is consumed. Sending thousands of printed paper copies of a magazine to all corners of the globe is not environmentally sustainable and adds a huge amount to the Institute’s carbon footprint. Text-based, time-consuming content is not the preferred choice of many modern professionals who tell us that they are seeking content in a variety of formats.

The BCI has therefore taken the decision to replace the quarterly magazine with the continuous content that BCI members are seeking as evidenced by responses to the BCI Members Content Survey conducted late last year.

The savings from the magazine will be re-invested into alternative resources to create a wide variety of content across many forms. This has already been taking place over the last few months and here is some of the additional member-only content that BCI Members are able to access via the BCI website:

Text-based

Webinar

Podcast

Video

The BCI is always looking for content contributors and ideas, so if you have any items you would like to see covered, please contact Marianna Pallini at: m[email protected]

The BCI served notice not to renew its contract with Redactive in June and the last edition of the magazine will be published in December 2021, but we look forward to some of the interesting and dynamic forms of content to be delivered over the coming months and years.
