What is the course

What is the Crisis Communication Presentations programme?

A practical programme for professionals who must explain an incident, address stakeholder concerns and present the organisation’s response.

Participants learn to organise verified information into concise briefings, acknowledge uncertainty and explain immediate actions. They practise an empathetic opening, clear spoken delivery and difficult questions using simulated incidents relevant to Indonesian organisations.

PrepareFacts, audiences and message priorities

PresentClear updates with empathy and composure

RespondDifficult questions and changing information

Is this right for your team

Is this built for your team?

Choose this programme when your team needs to brief employees, customers or other stakeholders during an incident.

Ideal for teams who:
  • Need to deliver timely, accurate crisis briefings
  • Want to align leaders and designated spokespersons
  • Present to employees or customers across Indonesia
  • Need rehearsal with questions and feedback
Another course may be better if:
  • You are looking for a public, open-enrolment course
  • You need technical incident response certification
  • You mainly need basic public speaking skills
  • You need a crisis consultant to manage a live incident
