Crisis communication is a highly strategic matter and an integral part of effective crisis management. It removes uncertainties, buys time, and contributes to the continuity of the organisation.
However, crisis communication is not simple. Expectations from employees, customers, suppliers, partners, governments, authorities, or the general public have never been higher, and time pressure, complexity, and uncertainty make communication during a crisis especially challenging. More than ever, communicators must juggle transparency, empathy, and expectations with the goal of providing clarity and avoiding looking shifty.
During a crisis communication training, you will benefit from our unparalleled expertise gained through hundreds of crisis situations over the past 20 years, and you will conclude that it’s not as difficult as it seems. After all, crisis communication is essentially just excellent communication – with a smaller margin for error.
