Crisis Simulation Training

Does your organisation truly understand how damaging a crisis could be?

Can you trust staff to say and do the right things in the midst of a crisis?

Have you done a proper crisis simulation within the last 12 months?

If you answered no to any of these questions then this could be the most important training you ever undertake.

We’ll work closely with your team to develop realistic crisis scenarios to ensure staff understand the gravity of the situation.

The simulation will test:

your organisation’s readiness to deal with a crisis
whether your crisis communication plans and crisis response procedures work together
speed of sign off and response times
how well your people deal with the media
the calibre of your messaging
your spokesperson’s ability to demonstrate empathy
internal communication protocols
how your organisation is likely to be perceived both during and after a crisis

Media Savvy will then assist in plugging any crisis communication gaps identified through the simulation.

What Our Clients are Saying

Best media training in my 25-year career. I wish I had this knowledge years ago. Very relevant and useable 10/10.

Lee Burdett NSW DPI Fisheries

I strongly recommend Media Savvy’s Managing the Media workshop. Insightful, practical and helpful. I feel it has helped me significantly in my approach to media interviews.

Michael Schwager Director General, IP Australia

Excellent preparation for launch of the Australian Infrastructure Plan and Senate estimates. 10/10.

Philip Davies CEO, Infrastructure Australia

Before the session, Jayne-Maree worked closely with us to create a training program tailored to our media goals. It was clear that she had put a huge amount of preparation into the content. I really appreciated the use of examples involving our organisation, competitors and industry to illustrate the practical application of different strategies and techniques. Jayne-Maree is a very knowledgeable and charismatic presenter. Even though COVID-19 scuppered our plans to conduct this training in-person, she made the session highly engaging and interactive over video. I’ve come away with lots of ideas about how to enhance our media program and have already started implementing them.

Dr Jane Rennie CPA Australia

Really engaging course. Presented very well with great feedback given.

Jason Davey Virgin Australia

I got so much out of today. I started the day lacking confidence and finished the day feeling so much more informed and aware of my strengths and challenges. It was a very unthreatening environment. Thank you so much.

Kate Kissane Head of Brand & Advertising, St George

The course was very enjoyable for what otherwise could be a tough day out of your comfort zone. A good pace broken by content to give you confidence that you’re not alone facing a camera.

Kent Fallon Stockland

I was impressed that Jayne-Maree found some of our own examples to share. It shows that she spent time tailoring the content for us.
