Crisis Situations Require Careful Risk Management Planning By: Mark Sheldon | - In the event of any crisis, no matter how large or small, there is always a very good chance that it will generate some interest from the local, national or even international media.

Google Trends, New Tool For Crisis Management By: Jonathan Bernstein | - How much effort should you put into reputation management programs centered on particular company or brand names, or the names of individuals under attack? Are people really looking at the criticized terms a lot? What parts of the country or world are more vulnerable?

Ignoring Wall Street Rumors By: Jonathan Bernstein | - I periodically share case histories of organizations which, in my opinion, badly botched the task of crisis communications. Some companies learn from such mistakes -- if they survive.
[Prologue]
Stodgy Savings was a 50-year-old financial institution traded on the New York Stock Exchange. It had never had a significant crisis and had survived the Resolution Trust Corporation's purge of the U.S. savings and loan industry. Its stock was usually perceived as a solid, conser ...

Mystery Shopping To Prevent Crises By: Jonathan Bernstein | - The concept of "Mystery Shoppers" has uses far beyond the aisles and cash registers of retail stores. Retailers and wise businesses that are highly focused on customer service have long employed people to secretly shop as if they were actual customers or clients, and then report their perceptions to management. If you apply this concept to testing how an organization performs in multiple categories -- not just customer service -- you will be able to detect the seeds of budding crises well in adv ...

The H1n1 Effect By: Jonathan Bernstein | - In the first two years after the term "Swine Flu" was used to describe the illness that mutated and jumped toH1N1 WHO Logo humans from pigs, the U.S. Pork Industry suffered losses estimated to be in excess of $5 billion. This despite the reality that what came to be known more frequently as H1N1 - partially as a result of the outcries from farmers - cannot be contracted from eating pork. And those loss figures do not, of course, include either the collateral damage caused to meat retailers and r ...

What Good Is A Plan No One Knows About? By: Jonathan Bernstein | - Tell me if this sounds familiar. A mayor, city manager or other official responsible for implementing a disaster response plan (a) does have such a plan; (b) does implement the plan following a hurricane, tornado, earthquake or major flood; and (c) gets crucified by his/her constituency for following that plan - to the letter.
Why Should Lawyers Care About Pr? By: Jonathan Bernstein | - A Pyrrhic victory, defined, is a "victory won at excessive cost." It is quite possible, for example, that some of the indicted or civilly sued business executives now in the news could, ultimately, be exonerated by the courts. But at what cost? Through effective preventive crisis management, such as vulnerability audits, crisis planning and training (including media training) -- their crises might have been averted or greatly minimized. Through better response, STARTING THE MOMENT THEIR LEGAL CO ... Tags:crisis communications, crisis prevention, crisis response, crisis management, reputation management
That's the amount financial analysts say the Tiger Woods PR debacle has cost the companies who had hired Tiger as a spokesperson. The personal loss of credibility goes far beyond affecting the $100 million man, and has substantially affected the value of the companies who depended on his image to sell their products and services.
Toxic Mold Crisis Management By: Jonathan Bernstein | - There are, I am told by an attorney in a position to know such things, at least 15,000 mold-related lawsuits currently filed in the United States.

Ah Yes But - How To Get Out Of Fighting Fires And Crisis Management By: Ann Andrews | - Over the course of my 20+ years working in the corporate world as a personnel manager and human resources manager, I became passionate about teaching employees how to be self-managing; to think ahead with regard to their skill-set and career prospects. Because there isn't much career development for our employees in the flattened hierarchy. So learning as much as they can every day, is the very best way to advance and climb what is left of the corporate ladder.
Managing Online Rumors By: Jonathan Bernstein | - One of my newsletter readers recently asked me, "In this age of weblogs and other postings, and aside from the usual 'behavior' guidelines for employees, could you provide guidelines for what is appropriate to engage in with respect to Net postings about company business, products, etc.? Among other concerns, we don't want to have a cacophony of conflicting views that might blur our various official messages. Thanks for any thoughts or examples."

Risking A Newsmagazine Interview By: Jonathan Bernstein | -
One of the greatest challenges facing any public relations professional is dealing with a negative situation that has attracted the interest of a TV "newsmagazine." The King of that Hill, of course, is "60 Minutes" although I understand there are comparably popular shows overseas. Few of us like hearing from the staff of "20/20" either. Sure, both shows have positive feature stories as well, but I believe most Crisis Managers associate the name "Mike Wallace" with the word "interrogation. ...

The 11 Steps Of Crisis Communications By: Jonathan Bernstein | - Crisis: An unstable or crucial time or state of affairs whose outcome will make a decisive difference for better or worse (Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary).
Every organization is vulnerable to crises. The days of playing ostrich are gone.

The Importance Of Communications Audits By: Jonathan Bernstein | - Do you know exactly what all your important audiences -- internal and external -- think about you TODAY? Not just what they tell you to your face, but what they might say in confidence to others? If not, you are conducting public relations, community relations, advertising, employee relations, even business-to-business communications, on a "best guess" basis. As a result, a percentage, perhaps a high percentage, of your communications will be off-target. They will either not achieve your goal or ...

My Top 5 Internet-related Crisis Management Tips By: Jonathan Bernstein | - On January 4, 1994, I launched what was then known as Bernstein Communications, which evolved into Bernstein Crisis Management (BCM) about eight years later.

Crisis management requires well thought through transformation and a fundamental re-thinking on how operators, local governments and vendors work together.

A few years ago, an email went out to regular passengers of Virginia Railway Express (VRE), a commuter railroad.

Seeds Of Crises By: Jonathan Bernstein | - One of the most common sources of almost completely preventable crises is the failure to "deliver as promised." That has been the seed of many crises to which I've had to respond, crises exacerbated by the breakdown between Marketing/PR and Operations functions in many organizations - an invisible line that should not, in my opinion, exist.
The Age Of Obama & The Court Of Public Opinion: New Opportunities For Trial Lawyers By: Jonathan Bernstein | - The Age of Obama could be a particularly lucrative period for trial attorneys in which to pair legal strategy with effective Internet-centered communication to the Court of Public Opinion, communication that marries the best legal strategy with sound public relations/issues management techniques.

Outsourcing In Crisis: When Clients See Green And Feel Red By: Paul Cervelloni | - A crisis, as defined by dictionary.com, may be a condition of instability or danger leading to a decisive change, and a dramatic emotional or circumstantial upheaval in a person's life. Any service delivery provider that has announced their perfect performance scores to a dissatisfied client knows just how that crisis feels. The client may even be provoked to pursue contract termination if this dubious high performance reporting continues.
