As you step into more senior comms roles, your focus shifts toward influence. Decisions become more complex, involve multiple stakeholders, and rarely have a clear ‘right’ answer. In this context, social capital becomes a key currency, and your ability to build and sustain alliances is critical to success. In this workshop, you will:
- Explore social capital as a key component to success in today’s workplace.
- Understand what it means in practical terms to be a comms leader in this space.
- Learn how to use AI as a strategic sounding board to scenario-plan how different stakeholders might react to complex decisions.
- Use Kademy’s ‘7 alliances’ model to map your current network and identify strengths and areas for improvement.
- Get clear on how to sustain and influence your network most effectively.
You can book a single seat on this course or opt to include unlimited access to Kademy's content library for 12 months as well.
Every Kademy course blends on-demand learning with live workshops, combining the flexibility of self-paced study with the energy of live discussion, practice and peer learning.
Approximately one week before the course you’ll get access to the Kademy learning platform. You’ll be able to meet your trainer and fellow participants, explore key resources, and complete some short pre-reading activities. Taking this time in advance will ensure you arrive ready to contribute and get the most out of the workshop experience.
In this virtual workshop, you’ll explore the importance of social capital as you progress your career, learning practical ways to build, nurture, and influence relationships across your stakeholder network to deliver stronger results. Using Kademy’s network mapping tool, you’ll examine the range of roles and purposes within an effective network, map your own alliances, and identify what’s working well alongside growth opportunities. You’ll also reflect on your responses to this insight, using them as data to guide action. The workshop concludes with practical tools, actions, and small experiments to help you actively sustain your network, whether by building new alliances or strengthening existing ones.
Finally, you’ll receive follow-up materials to continue your learning and have the opportunity to complete a quiz to earn your Certificate of Completion.
