In the current global climate, crises are an inevitability for almost every organisation, let alone an inevitable part of a CEO or CCO’s career.
Joining Tony Langham in the Lansons studio is Rachel Atkins of Schillings and Lansons’ Ralph Jackson, discussing crises preparedness and managing reputations during the ‘eye of the storm’.
In this day and age, crises are becoming more frequent and the impact they have on reputations are longer-lasting.
Our experts explore crises from a lawyer and communicators perspective. From handling the media to analysing the pitfalls for companies, boards and individuals, preparedness is key when protecting reputations from a crisis.
The risk of a crisis can not be eliminated but preparedness and proper management can help in protecting reputations.
