Early Communications is Queen and Transparency is King - A pan European review of communications by experts during the COVID crisis

In this fascinating episode we chat with Crisis Communications specialists from across Europe (CCNE) to discuss how each country is managing as each navigates the very challenging job of easing the COVID19 restrictions and safely returning to "normal". We learn that the easing of restrictions is more difficult than a lockdown when it comes to communications, that different "agendas" start to play a role at this time and we also compare who got it right and who got it wrong. The big lessons are that Early Communications is Queen and Transparency is King in a crisis. Strong leadership, good values and staying positive for morale are also critical attributes. Also check out Episode 114 where we chatted with this group at the very beginning of the crisis.
