Monitor sentiment and coverage relating to government forum representation in useful time.
Designing Strategies for Corporate Representation at Government Forums
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to government forum representation.
Course Overview
Internal audiences learn about government forum representation from the news unless you reach them first. Reputation built over years is re-assessed publicly within hours when this strand of communications and media practice is mishandled. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this aspect of communications and media practice and supervised application. The difficulty is not agreeing that government forum representation matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the practice within communications and media practice outperform teams that only plan it. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this area of communications and media practice, in large organisations and small ones alike. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in government forum representation before they become incidents. The course covers this part of communications and media practice at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this area of communications and media practice sustainable.
