pre-planning and crisis management systems
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. But inevitably useless after the event. Save yourself time, money and loss by utilising the crystal ball that comprises our team of crisis management experts. Have the right plans, systems and people in place so that when trouble brews, you're equipped, prepared and on-top of the situation...
- identify, analyse, prepare, implement
We'll help you to:
- identify potential crises
- analyse the state of your ability to cope
- help you prepare a plan of action
- put in place exactly the right systems to enable you to effectively respond when a critical event becomes reality
- key questions
At the outset, some of the things we'll both need to think about include:
- what plans, if any, are already in place?
- how are you going to handle calls from the media?
- who's media-trained and ready to give interviews?
- whom within your organisation has experience of convincingly dealing with internal, media, political and public audiences?
- what's the potential composition of your crisis management team?
- how quickly can you ensure you're able to take control of events, rather than be controlled by them?
- leaving you in good shape
With a "belt and braces" approach, we'll put in place the systems you need to anticipate, react quickly and manage foreseen and unforeseen events. And, where possible, we'll prove their effectiveness by undertaking a number of "trial runs" to test, tweak and provide piece of mind. The result of our actions typically means that:
- crisis control groups are formed
- lines of communication are clear
- where necessary, corporate policy is modified
- monitoring systems are in place - whether media or political - to anticipate potential problems
- nominated spokespeople are available and media-trained
- plans and statements for handling media enquiries are prepared and ready
- you're already sourcing and communicating with cheerleaders and supporters locally, in the media and in government so that you can draw on this support in times of trouble
- you're generating good PR locally, nationally and internationally to soften the blow of any upcoming crisis
- when a crisis strikes, you can focus your energies on solving the problem without the worry that you're ill-equipped to deal with the consequences
