Developing Communication Competencies with Stakeholders

Course Overview

We are in the midst of global digital transformation, whereby the biggest challenge for any leader is not technology but managing people effectively. Therefore, the characteristics necessary to manage during this digital age are more related to people management. Hence leaders need to understand and leverage the technologies available and seek collaborations that navigate individualism and collectivism, that unite people more to the benefits of the latter.

So more than ever, today’s multi-platform media environment creates unique issues, whether navigating a communications crisis or building your brand. When your audience is diverse—culturally, generational, geographically, or philosophically—agility in messaging becomes even more important. But how do you communicate powerfully and inspire others most effectively when your communication primarily takes place through an interface? Designed for professionals who seek to increase their influence.

All leaders should understand the dangers and limitations of new online and digital communication methods.
