At Hood & Woolf we help our clients have effective conversations and productive relationships with the people who matter to them and their business. We work with leaders and teams to help them deliver their organisational goals, exploit opportunities, manage their reputation and reduce risk. With director-level leadership and involvement in all our projects we work with a network of senior associates to bring the right level of experience, knowledge and expertise to any project. COMMUNICATIONS & ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY Working at board level, and in the context of the challenges being faced we’ll translate the business’s strategic objectives into a communications and engagement plan that sets the company’s narrative and provides vital direction for your communications team. MAJOR CHANGE PROGRAMMES Working with and across organisations to develop a shared vision and voice to support change, our deep understanding of the statutory duties relating to healthcare reconfigurations and planning applications means your organisation will receive the right advice at every stage. CRISIS & ISSUES MANAGEMENT As so many successful organisations have proven before, a crisis can strike at any time. Working with you we’ll take the time to scan your environment for potential threats and create a comprehensive plan that will ensure you know exactly how to respond and retain control of your organisation's narrative with your key audiences in the event of a crisis, and plan and support your response to a forthcoming issue. OTHER SERVICES We provide media training to support spokespeople; training for independent chairs and panel members to host public meetings; and facilitators and chairs to help run high-profile and/or contentious events and meetings. DIAGNOSTIC If you’re concerned that your organisation is not prepared to respond to a crisis our diagnostic takes you through a series of questions to pinpoint any gaps. We’d be happy to provide advice to help you prepare.
