New technologies and social media are challenging the traditional role of the Chief Communications Officer (CCO). This represents a paradigm shift of the role from controlling the corporate brand message to being capable only of influencing the targets. This shift also demands that brands listen more carefully to what is happening in online communities and social media, and to generate higher levels of engagement with their audiences.
Corporate communications have traditionally been associated with conveying the organisation’s messages to its diverse stakeholders. However, in such a hyper-connected environment – in which customers and many stakeholders are gaining increasing power – firms need to find new ways to listen to all stakeholders, and to involve them in strategic decision-making processes.
This masterclass is meant for communication professionals who seek to understand the value of stakeholder contributions to innovation, value propositions, and corporate communication. It teaches you how to open up to external stakeholders in order to learn from them, and how to engage with them in strategic partnerships which benefit the organisation.
The classroom comprises of a diverse group of accomplished, driven and open-minded professionals from Europe and beyond, working in various management positions in the public and private sector, NGOs and consultancies.
Participants in this course are recommended to hold at least a bachelor degree.
Participants in this course are recommended to have 3+ years of work experience.
