Course Overview
Silence during a crisis involving public delivery skills is itself a statement. Credibility in the practice within communications and media practice is spent quickly and rebuilt slowly. The programme converts the wider communications and media practice agenda from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of public delivery skills and supervised application. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what the practice within communications and media practice has actually achieved. The professional literature on this part of communications and media practice converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. It is designed for mixed groups, so that public delivery skills is examined from more than one functional angle. The version of the practice within communications and media practice described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The programme closes with an action plan for the wider communications and media practice agenda that each participant writes for their own organisation.
