Crisis

Every Counts

The shock and awe of an emergency situation can be physically and intellectually paralyzing. Wise decisions and efficient actions need to happen at an accelerated pace. How senior leadership “shows up” during a highly stressful situation is critical. Understanding what has happened at the onset of a crisis is complex; often, so little is known at the beginning. Facts unfold over time, and while some frontline intelligence is quick to surface, usually the most important information comes to light in a slow, disjointed way. The quicker and more accurate the information is obtained, the faster the crisis team can transform what is known into an effective and more coordinated response.

Nancy and the team look at what’s going on inside your company from a Leadership Perspective: identifying and responding appropriately to key internal and external stakeholders, understanding how to best manage organizational continuity when in a crisis, and how senior leaders “show up” during a crisis; leading by example is critically important during volatile times. Tara and the team view the crisis from an External Perspective – how the media is going to report it, how to communicate to your customers, how to deliver a right holding statement to stem the tide until you collect more information, and why transparency and empathy must come through and effective ways to monitor social chatter. Professionals asking different types of questions, fact-finding, and working together with a common goal – to help you effectively manage your crisis and preserve your organization and reputation.
