If cows could fly… At an airline crisis communications can become the normal. I was in charge of the guidelines and training of the company wide spokesman network. Theory and practice, strategy and key message. It can be a tight balance to get in your side of the story.


Olin vastuussa yhtiön kriisiviestintäohjeista ja spokesman-verkoston koulutuksesta, joka yhdisti teorian ja tavoitteet, kameraharjoittelun ja avainviestit. Tavoitteena oli olla nopea, rehellinen ja vastuullinen. Tasapainottelu on vaativaa: työntöä ja vetoa. Haastavaa mutta mahdollista, kun ohjeet olivat selkeät ja koko henkilöstö viritetty samalle aaltopituudelle.
