How your executives will work together in a crisis is the most important question that a company’s crisis management program needs to answers. Without a clear communication and decision-making framework, detailed plans for particular scenarios do not mean much. The major benefit of a plan is that many decisions will be settled before crisis strikes, saving precious time.
We also discuss how important it is to tell the company’s story before the public makes up their minds on what the story is, and opinions about working with company legal departments.
