Prepare a short, evidence-based briefing on social media crisis management for senior management.
Building Crisis Management Strategies on Social Media Platforms
An applied course in social media crisis management built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
Most disappointing results in social media crisis management trace back to an audience defined too broadly. Discounting solves a problem in crisis management today and creates a larger one next quarter. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the marketing and commercial practice discipline. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a go-to-market plan for social media crisis management as they go. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this aspect of marketing and commercial practice. The programme is built to be used, and every section of crisis management it covers ends in something applicable. Moving social media crisis management from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Practitioner evidence points the same way: crisis management improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the practice within marketing and commercial practice that would make a visible difference.
