Course Overview
Credibility in difficult interview simulation is spent quickly and rebuilt slowly. Journalists covering this area of communications and media practice are working to a deadline you do not control. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the wider communications and media practice agenda so that teams can disagree productively about it. Every module pairs a short input on difficult interview simulation with structured practice on the participant's own material. What blocks progress on the communications and media practice discipline is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Mature organisations treat the practice within communications and media practice as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The programme suits teams tackling difficult interview simulation together as readily as individuals attending alone. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the communications and media practice capability is working and when it is only appearing to. The final session converts the week's work on this part of communications and media practice into commitments with owners and dates.
