Design the crisis response plan for integrated public relations strategy with named roles and pre-agreed authority.
Building Integrated Public Relations Strategies for Organisations
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run integrated public relations strategy properly.
Course Overview
The first version of a story about integrated public relations strategy tends to become the reference version. Reputation built over years is re-assessed publicly within hours when relations strategy is mishandled. The most reliable predictor of sound this part of communications and media practice is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of integrated public relations strategy rather than to abstract argument. Buying a tool rarely fixes the wider communications and media practice agenda; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of relations strategy to standardise and which to leave flexible. The level assumes working familiarity with the communications function but no prior formal training in integrated public relations strategy. It treats relations strategy as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this strand of communications and media practice rather than a set of notes.
