Crisis communications training
The crisis communications training consists of two parts. The first part is a crisis communication-focused media training, which aims to prepare participants to handle media relations effectively in the event of a crisis.
The aim of the second part is to teach attendees how to identify all involved parties in a crisis situation and get to know a 360 degree crisis management that goes beyond media relations.
