This program also explores how communication professionals should operate in the midst of such fast moving situations. From the principles of establishing what has happened, communicating timely and devising crisis leadership and strategies to managing the traditional and social media, the program will challenge you to return with renewed fervour about the importance and financial value of crisis planning and rehearsal. You will also gain vital crisis communications skills to manage and defend trust in your brand when it is at its most vulnerable.
