It is much better to be ready for a crisis, rather than trying to work out what to do when everything is going wrong.
\nReputation management is a long-term necessity, not something to make up in the heat of a crisis.
\nWe can work with you to be ready for if the unthinkable should ever happen. Every organisation, big or small is vulnerable to a crisis. And it really is much better to have a plan in place beforehand.<\/p>\n
But what elements do you need in a Crisis Communications Plan?
\nWho are your spokespeople?
\nWhat should they say?
\nShould you run a press conference? And if so \u2013 how, where and when?
\nHow do you cope with criticism on social media?
\nWhat do you say to staff?<\/p>\n
Even the really simple stuff, like what is the password for the corporate Twitter account and how do you get hold of the CEO when she is on holiday can trip you up if you haven\u2019t thought it through before. So you need to practise before and work out how to prepare.
\nWe can offer tailor-made training in preparing for a crisis. It may never happen, but remember Murphy\u2019s Law? It probably will….
\nKate Betts is a trainer at a national level in crisis communications, working with both the Chartered Institute of Public Relations and the Cabinet Office-approved Emergency Planning College, where she designs and runs courses on crisis communications.
\nAnd what if you haven’t prepared? Well, we can still help you deal with a crisis even when everything seems to be falling apart and the press are on the doorstep.<\/p>\n
