Beyond the Foundations
You know the framework.
Now you need to implement it.
The Foundation Collection self-paced courses give you the knowledge, the templates, and the conceptual grounding. They are designed for exactly that — individual study, at your own pace, on your own schedule.
But implementation is a different challenge. Clause 8 of ISO 22361 requires you to build a system inside a real organisation, with real stakeholders, real constraints, and real pressure. That is not a solo exercise.
The Practice Collection cohort is for practitioners who are ready to go further — to move from understanding the framework to deploying it, with live facilitation, peer challenge, and structured accountability.
Depth requires a different format.
The Solution
Six weeks. Live facilitation.
Real implementation.
This is not another course to bookmark and forget. The ISO 22361 Practice Collection cohort is structured implementation training — one live, facilitated session per week where you build your crisis communication system alongside peers facing the same challenges.
Philippe Borremans facilitates every session. You bring your organisation's context. Together, you map stakeholders, define roles, set principles, and remove barriers — week by week, with live feedback.
By the end of six weeks, you do not just understand ISO 22361 Clause 8. You have an implementation plan your board can approve.

Community & Peer Learning
You are not
implementing alone.
Peer accountability is the engine of this programme. Cohorts draw from corporates, NGOs, government agencies, and consultancies across multiple regions — cross-industry perspectives sharpen your thinking, and your plan gets stronger from the challenge.
The private community stays active long after the final session, with alumni continuing to share resources and case studies.
