A devastating accident. A toxic leak. Regulatory failure. Massive product recall. Contaminated food. A controversial facility. An oil spill.

How can you avoid disaster when your organization encounters a crisis that threatens your reputation and your image?

You need to know how to communicate with an angry public.

The Consensus Building Institute (CBI) and The MIT-Harvard Public Disputes Program invite you and your senior staff to join us for a two-day executive education program specifically designed to prepare you to dialogue and negotiate with those who are upset with you; build understanding and working relationships; and enlist the support of would-be detractors.

During this intensive course, CBI's founder and senior consultant, MIT professor Lawrence Susskind; CBI's co-managing director, Patrick Field; Harvard Business School professor Michael Wheeler; and former award-winning journalist and media trainer, Jeff Ansell, will share practical techniques to help you better understand the other side's interests, turn confrontation into problem-solving, and create options for mutual gain.
