This intensive Crisis Communication Training programme has been tailored to help company executives manage incidents before they escalate into potentially threatening media crisis situations. Participants will be carefully coached on tried-and-tested methods to avoid potential media pitfalls, which includes adopting a clear crisis management strategy, appointing a specific team to manage the situation from start to end, and doing a realistic damage assessment before the crisis actually strikes.
