The first version of a story about environmental initiative communication tends to become the reference version. Silence during a crisis involving the communications and media practice discipline is itself a statement. Progress on this area of communications and media practice is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of environmental initiative communication is examined, not just described. It concentrates on the parts of the communications and media practice capability that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. It is written for people who have to make this aspect of communications and media practice work with the resources they already have. Mature organisations treat environmental initiative communication as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the practice within communications and media practice under scrutiny. The programme closes with an action plan for this part of communications and media practice that each participant writes for their own organisation.
