About the course.

A harsher media climate with a pack mentality, and customers who demand more transparency and proper conduct, mean that the trust capital and reputation of companies, authorities and organisations have never been as fragile as now. This full-day course aims to give you tools and concrete tips for effectively handling crises of trust and media scrutiny. You will learn to avoid the most common mistakes and how you should act, step by step, when the crisis comes.

People in power, managers and public figures find that the media climate is increasingly marked by a focus on individuals, sensational headlines, pack mentality and the hunt for entertainment value. Single statements or mistakes can have major consequences. At the same time, companies and organisations often make mistakes in crisis management. Among the most common is the human defence mechanism that arises when you are scrutinised in detail or a problem comes to light: you react defensively and avoid giving straight and clear answers. Instead of analysing the criticism and working in a structured way, people in an organisation tend to run in different directions. This feeds the media drama and contributes to escalation and more articles. This course aims to give you insights, tools and tips for handling a crisis correctly and effectively and avoiding the most common mistakes.
