Crisis communication

In the following we have once again compiled the most important tips for successful crisis management.

  1. Constant image building and professional PR pay off in the crisis -> trust account
  2. The reaction to a crisis often determines public perception more than the cause -> It is never about being right.
  3. There are proven strategies and efficient instruments to recognize a crisis in advance -> vulnerability analysis
  4. Hardly any company crisis turns into an existential crisis -> often an opportunity arises from it
  5. A crisis plan and a well-coordinated crisis team are essential -> good preparation is half of crisis management
  6. The speed is decisive -> a lot can be prepared in advance
  7. Expect the worst (worst-case scenarios) -> then the actual situation loses its horror
  8. Crisis management is emotion management -> because it is only about personal sensitivities, mostly fears, worries or partly misunderstood feelings of responsibility.
  9. Switching from reactive to active is a challenge -> let´s go back to the driver seat
  10. Crises put partnerships to the test -> afterwards an excellent base for the future, unfortunately only afterwards ...

Conclusion: From esotericism to the profession of crisis communication - which general measures are to be heeded?

  • Design crisis communication as a strategic management process
  • Implementing complex crisis management approaches: no cooking recipes
  • Do not generalize individual cases: Every crisis proceeds differently, but in similar schemes
  • Taking note of scientific research, using it, cooperating, demanding/motivating transfer
