Course: Communications Planning 9 July
Published: Mon, 07 May 2007, 13:42


Many people don’t have time to plan, they just want to 'get on with it'. Maybe you already know the danger of this approach but don’t know how to plan effectively. Or maybe you plan your communications and you still aren’t in control!

Why do I need a plan?

  • What are the benefits of spending time planning?
  • How can this help demonstrate my value-add?

    The course will explore the reasons for and benefits of thorough communications planning as well as working through examples of plans that help get the job done. You can bring a real example of an issue that you would like to plan to work through.

    Objectives

    Too often planning communications is seen as a waste of time – better to just get on with things! This course will show how time invested ‘up-front’ can save you from disasters downstream and give you the outcomes you want.

    Outline
    The day will cover:

  • The purpose and benefits of planning
  • A range of examples of communications plans
