Course Overview

Reputation built over years is re-assessed publicly within hours when earned digital links is mishandled. Credibility in the communications and media practice discipline is spent quickly and rebuilt slowly. What blocks progress on this aspect of communications and media practice is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The programme takes participants through earned digital links end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to the practice within communications and media practice in an order their organisation can absorb. Organisations that document the communications and media practice discipline properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about earned digital links in their own setting. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this aspect of communications and media practice, in large organisations and small ones alike. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the communications and media practice capability that would make a visible difference.
