Strategists adapt to circumstances. They gather and synthesize information, and “connect the dots.” They anticipate. They plan. This course takes participants through the process of strategic communications planning. 

The strategic communications and engagement function is known to be a critical determinant of success for most organizations in all sectors. Yet it is often the function within the organization that is least understood.

It is a function that many people feel they understand in an intuitive and abstract sense, but not necessary in the practical or professional sense. There is often a nagging feeling throughout the organization of missed opportunities to reach those people who can help advance their cause. There can be a strong sense that they could all be doing better if they could find the time to chart a common – and strategic – path forward.
