Advanced Investor Relations

Communications and Public Relations|5 days|Classroom or live online

This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into spokesperson training, campaign planning and the judgement calls that sit outside recognised crisis communication protocols. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because spokespeople are frequently appointed without ever having been trained. Delegates leave able to work confidently with stakeholder mapping, community engagement and crisis communication in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Take ownership of stakeholder mapping rather than escalating it, measured against recognised crisis communication protocols
Make a decision about community engagement without waiting for a specialist
Bring crisis communication into line with current good practice
Review communication auditing and say plainly whether it is working
