Estimate what executive media training costs to run properly, and what is lost when it is not.
Building Comprehensive Media Training Programmes for Executive Leadership
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run executive media training properly.
Course Overview
Silence during a crisis involving executive media training is itself a statement. Reputation built over years is re-assessed publicly within hours when the wider communications and media practice agenda is mishandled. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about the practice within communications and media practice in their own setting. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better executive media training is rarely technical. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this aspect of communications and media practice, in large organisations and small ones alike. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in the practice within communications and media practice, not around theory headings. A common pattern is strong design of executive media training paired with weak follow-through. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this area of communications and media practice has actually achieved. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the practice within communications and media practice ready to put in front of a decision maker.
