Press Office Management in the Public Sector

Communications and Public Relations|3 days|Classroom or live online

Press Office Management in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including message development, brand positioning and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because internal communication failures surface later as engagement and retention problems, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with speech writing, stakeholder mapping and investor communication in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Explain speech writing to someone who does not do the work, measured against recognised crisis communication protocols
Improve stakeholder mapping within their own organisation
Make a decision about investor communication without waiting for a specialist
Review content planning and say plainly whether it is working
