Our Approach
Crisis communications requires a well-structured and organized process that takes into account the potential impact of the crisis and the negative reporting associated with it. Continual threat assessment is important to help identify and prioritize the response to the crisis.
CCI conducts a threat analysis based on the negativity of reporting and potential exposure, and divides the response into three activity levels: Monitor & Plan, Proactive Response, and Active Crisis Management.
Monitor & Plan:
In this stage, the organization should monitor the situation and gather as much information as possible. The organization should also create a crisis management team that will be responsible for handling the crisis communications. The team should include representatives from various departments within the organization, including legal, public relations, marketing, and operations.
The team should develop a crisis management plan that outlines the procedures to follow during the crisis, including communication protocols, stakeholder management, and media management. The plan should also identify potential spokespersons and provide training for them on how to communicate effectively during a crisis.
Proactive Response:
If the threat analysis indicates a high level of risk, the organization should take a proactive approach to crisis communications. This involves reaching out to stakeholders, including customers, employees, and investors, to communicate the situation and reassure them that the organization is taking appropriate measures to address the crisis.
The organization should also develop messaging that is consistent with its brand and values, and tailor it to specific stakeholders. This may involve using different channels of communication, such as social media, email, or press releases.
Active Crisis Management:
If the situation escalates, the organization may need to move to active crisis management. This involves taking immediate action to address the crisis and mitigate its impact. This may include implementing operational changes, coordinating with regulatory bodies, and providing regular updates to stakeholders.
During this stage, the crisis management team should be fully activated, and all communication should be closely coordinated to ensure consistency and accuracy.
