Designed for senior managers, operational leaders, venue management teams, control room personnel and organisational spokespersons, this programme focuses on the realities of communicating during major incidents, operational disruption and high profile events where public confidence, reputation and trust can change within minutes.

Most organisations have operational plans for incidents.  Far fewer are prepared for the communication pressures that immediately follow.  The first media call, live social media speculation, public scrutiny, stakeholder pressure and the expectation for immediate information can quickly become as challenging as the incident itself.

This programme has been developed to bridge the gap between operational incident management and real world crisis communication by providing practical, confidence building training focused on press, media and public communication during live and evolving situations.

Unlike generic PR or corporate media training, the course is specifically designed around crowded places, live events, hospitality venues, stadiums, public safety incidents and operational environments where communication must support not only reputation management, but public reassurance, operational coordination and stakeholder confidence.

The programme combines theory, practical learning and immersive media exercises covering television, radio, press interviews, stakeholder messaging, social media pressures, holding statements, press conferences and communication during fast moving operational incidents.

Delegates will participate in realistic scenarios and practical media exercises designed to replicate the pressures, uncertainty and scrutiny organisations face during real incidents.  The focus throughout is on helping leaders communicate calmly, clearly and credibly when it matters most.
