Not “If” But “When”

Why care about crisis preparedness?

When you’re caught unprepared, your organization can become reactive. You might make communication mistakes that could have easily been prevented. This can put even the best organizational reputation in jeopardy.

Crisis can impact a client’s decision about whether or not to continue to do business with you. It makes a difference in whether or not people want to work for you. And as Warren Buffet says, “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and only five minutes to ruin it.”

When you’re prepared for crisis, you can be responsive and even proactive, keeping your reputation intact.
