Silence during a crisis involving presentation audience interaction is itself a statement. Journalists covering this part of communications and media practice are working to a deadline you do not control. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the communications and media practice capability improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The programme works equally well for those formalising presentation audience interaction for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Moving this area of communications and media practice from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. This programme builds the communications and media practice capability from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of presentation audience interaction and prepares them for it. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this area of communications and media practice to standardise and which to leave flexible. The final session converts the week's work on the communications and media practice capability into commitments with owners and dates.
