Summary:
Politicians make decisions that impact on businesses, charities and other organisations on a daily basis – some positive, some less so. Many organisations have no strategy for dealing with or interacting with politicians, and only turn to public affairs when they face a crisis. The most effective organisations play an active role in the political world, building alliances and promoting their issues. This course will explore the strategies and approaches available to communications professionals who want to run a campaign designed to influence the political agenda.
