AFTERNOON POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP D
How To Develop And Implement A Strong Crisis Management Plan To Enable You To Influence Your Government Department, And The Social Web
Social media should be seen as a tool for crisis management, not as a risk or crisis waiting to happen. With the right crisis management plan, your organization will be empowered and prepared for any impeding crisis within the social web.
In order to properly manage crisis, a key component is to identify influencers. A social web influencer is an individual with a platform, such as a blog, micro-blog, or podcast, who is respected, listened to, and well-liked, in any micro-tribe (community). It is important to learn how to communicate with them to gain and forward crucial information. Many crises can be effectively managed, and even avoided, with the ability to engage and influence your core audience.
During this interactive and hands-on workshop, your organization will learn how to develop its own crisis management plan, including how to:
- Manage crisis within large organizations
- Identify influencers
- Engage your audience
- Prepare for impending crisis
- Forward your mandate as part of your crisis management plan
