Crisis plan review and readiness assessment

We bring your crisis plan up to date for the modern, social media environment and help you understand how prepared your team is to handle issues and incidents.

Handling a major incident or customer care problem well takes regular planning and practice – after all it’s people, not processes, that manage a crisis or serious issue.

The range of stakeholders involved, the diversity of media and influencers – and the speed at which they work – demand more of corporate communication and customer care teams than ever.

Our unique strength is in helping you grow the practical, digital skills needed for effective digital communication under pressure. But our team blends experience from local journalism to publishing, stakeholder management to broadcast TV. Alongside the digital dimension, we review clients’ existing crisis plans and protocols to test them against the demands of the modern media, customer and regulatory environment.

We run audits and diagnostics of teams’ readiness to handle different types of issues and incidents with an online dimension, to help identify gaps or areas to develop through training and exercising.
