When reputational risks need to be assessed
Identify the issues, audiences and scenarios most likely to create operational or reputational pressure.
Issues & Crisis
Issues management, reputational risk and crisis communications.
I assess reputational risk, prepare leaders, manage sensitive issues and guide communications when events move quickly.
Engagements begin before a problem emerges or while a situation is already unfolding. The work is practical: understand the risk, make decisions, prepare the materials and communicate with the people who need to know.
Clear assessment what is happening, what matters and what could happen next
Practical preparation plans, messages, roles and materials built for real use
Calm support experienced counsel before, during and after a sensitive situation
Issues and situations
Prepare for risk. Manage difficult situations. Respond clearly.
The work ranges from prevention and preparation to active response. The objective remains the same: make sound decisions, communicate clearly and preserve trust.
When a crisis plan needs to be built
Define roles, decisions, escalation routes, communications steps and practical response materials.
When leaders and teams need to practise
Use realistic simulations to test decisions, messages, roles and coordination before they are needed.
When a difficult announcement must be made
Prepare the message, timing, leadership communications, questions and stakeholder outreach.
When criticism or controversy is growing
Assess the situation, decide how to respond and prepare clear, credible communications.
When events are moving quickly
Support decisions, update messages and keep communications coordinated as the situation changes.
When stakeholders need different information
Adapt communications for employees, customers, partners, media, officials and other affected groups.
When recovery and follow-up are required
Review what happened, address remaining concerns and rebuild confidence after the immediate pressure passes.
