Training Workshops
Charlie Pownall’s communications and social media workshops are highly modular and can be
customised to each client’s requirements. Workshops on related topics can also be developed.
Reputation Risk & Resilience
Reputation is considered the top business risk to many organisations. Drawing on case studies
and examples from a wide variety of sectors, this workshop sets out a clear framework for
companies to assess their reputations, identify ‘traditional’ and online reputation risks and put in
place appropriate safeguards to mitigate, manage and evaluate these risks on an ongoing basis.
Duration: One day
Social Media Risk Assessment Social media is now seen as a significant business risk. Using case studies, exercises and tried and tested methodologies, this highly practical workshop helps organisations identify, assess and prioritise social media threats and vulnerabilities, including strategic, operational, behavioural, legal/regulatory and technological/informational risks. Participants will leave the workshop with a social media risk assessment relevant to their organisation. Duration: One day
Social Media & Crisis Communications
Social media is making crises harder to anticipate, manage and recover from. This workshop
equips participants with a better understanding of how crisis communications is changing, and
helps them plan for, manage and recover from serious incidents emanating from or playing out
on social media. As an option, an as-live digital/social crisis scenario (see below) will test
participants’ abilities to respond to a crisis using digital and social media.
Duration: One or two days
Social Media Crisis Simulation
There is no better way to learn how to handle a crisis than having been through one. This
workshop enables teams to respond to a crisis in social media in a hands-on, private
environment that brings alive the dynamics of a serious incident across multiple social and web
platforms. Social media crisis simulations can be used to test existing crisis plans and
vulnerabilities, improve the ability of online community teams to handle activist attacks and
other challenging incidents, or to stress-test customer service teams.
Duration: One day

Social Media Planning & Strategy It is one thing to be heard, it’s another to win people over to your side. Many organisations continue to approach social media primarily as a push medium, whereas its real value lies in two-way communication, engagement and collaboration. Based on an established five-step process, this workshop draws on extensive case studies and examples to show participants how to conduct online audience research and develop an effective social media strategy aligned with business and communications goals and culture. Duration: One day
Strategic Online Reputation Management Drawing on examples of companies suffering significant online meltdowns and those successfully managing their online reputations, this workshop sets out how institutions can protect their reputations online by assessing, mitigating and managing the many ‘traditional’ and online risks. As an option, participants can learn how to manage online issues and negative online dialogue (see below). Duration: One or two days
Online Issues & Dialogue Management
From volatile bloggers and rogue employees to activist customers, local communities and
NGOs, all manner of potentially damaging issues are being played out in social media. Using
case studies, best practices and exercises, this highly interactive workshop drills participants in
the principles and practices of how to respond to a range of common damaging online incidents.
Duration: One day
Online Community Management Online customers are turning to social communities such as Facebook or Sina Weibo over call centres. Smart firms are putting considerable investment and resource into managing their social media-based communities, yet many continue to overlook customer service demands in favour of a marketing-led approach. This workshop explores the principles and practices of managing official online communities, including content, conversations, promotion and measurement.
