Course Overview

Internal audiences learn about remote editorial team management from the news unless you reach them first. Silence during a crisis involving team management is itself a statement. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of this strand of communications and media practice and prepares them for it. The content is relevant to those who own remote editorial team management and to those who are held accountable for its results. Progress on the communications and media practice capability is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better team management is rarely technical. It treats remote editorial team management as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting team management, ready to be adapted internally. The programme closes with an action plan for this aspect of communications and media practice that each participant writes for their own organisation.
