Recognising the pivotal role of communication management in an organisation’s operations, competitiveness, and overall perception index, the alliance seeks to elevate the practice of integrated marketing communications and emphasise the significance of the Chief Communications Officer role.
Through the COGNITUS-CARITAS Strategic Alliance, a portfolio of bespoke executive development programs has been curated, including the Chief Communications Officer Program, Systems Approach to Strategic Communications, Reputation Management, Crisis Management, and more. These programs are designed to bridge knowledge and competence gaps specific to the African business environment.
