Contenu
Communication can only be strategic. Any action should be integrated in a full communication plan that has been designed to reach defined communication objectives with a thought-out strategy.
While this course is held in English, the central focus is not on language teaching. It is given by non- native English professors who will put students into a business environment where mainly “international English” is spoken, with specific terms and jargon linked to the communication sector.
This course will cover all elements of strategic communications, starting from the place of the communication management team in the hierarchy of an organisation all the way to the measurement of communication actions. This course aims at teaching how to build a strategic communication plan through:
  • Organisation standards: corporate objectives, structure, budget, …
  • Situation analysis: audits, mapping, intelligence gathering, opportunities, vulnerabilities, …
  • Communication basics and prerequisites: mission, vision, objectives, strategy, messaging, stakeholders and audiences
  • Communication disciplines: corporate communication, brand communication, social-media relations, crisis and issue management, public affairs, financial communication, internal communication, …
  • Evaluation: KPI’s and measurement
