What is a crisis?

cri·​sis (noun)

We define a crisis as any situation that is threatening or could threaten to harm people or property, seriously interrupt operations and damage reputation or the financial bottom line.

Though it’s widely accepted that even the best-run organizations cannot avoid every possible negative situation, actively engaging in crisis management planning, preparedness, and response will help secure against any given incident creating long-term harm.

If any of the items on this list sound familiar, you may be in need of a crisis management consultant:

  • Your organization’s reputation is being attacked in search results or on review sites.
  • You’re being sued or launching a lawsuit, either with significant potential impact on your organization.
  • You’ve been contacted by the media to comment on a concerning incident, damaging allegations, or anything else that could result in volatile or outrage-inducing coverage.
  • You’re going to need to deliver negative news to your important stakeholders, e.g., employees, customers, or investors.
