Crisis Ready Q&A: How Does Crisis Readiness Translate From Government To Big Business To Solopreneurs?

Each month, I answer your crisis ready questions.

This month’s question comes from Bridget… and, in fact, Bridget had a handful of really great questions that I got to provide responses to. Here’s a sampling of what these questions were:

“Is crisis management different from industry to industry?”

“What is the best way to manage controversial issues that spark heated emotion within a subset group of stakeholders?”

“Who should be a part of the issue management team, when an incident doesn’t need to escalate straight through to leadership?”

You can also listen to this episode on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, and YouTube.

• Strategic ways to successfully manage controversial viral issues.
• The power of banking goodwill and trust prior to experiencing an issue or crisis.
• Strategies of response when your hands are tied and you are not legally able to share information.
• Where the crisis management nuances lie and how to be prepared for all forms of incidents.
• A look at how to make your crisis management governance structure scalable across all forms of issues and crises.
