The best way of avoiding a crisis is practice: crisis rehearsals. It ensures:
- Nimble strategy design and tactical responses.
- Board and management unity under pressure.
- Rapid message preparation.
- A prepared spokesperson.
- Media and social media preparedness.
Change is hard – possibly the greatest leadership challenge. Despite that, there is a process, and we have extensive experience in the communications involved. It starts at the top and then, for some, it’s motivating teams. From there it can extend to being customer-focused, or the hard work of community engagement. We study, research and constantly discuss what is genuine change versus the latest ‘bright shiny toy’, to ensure we, and our clients, stay ahead.
Based on 30 years of journalistic experience in Australia’s leading newsrooms, Wilkinson Butler conducts media and presentation training for executives and high-profile individuals to ensure they’re prepared and confident spokespeople during the fiercest of interviews.
