Crisis & Issue Management

Prepared before an issue becomes a crisis

Not every critical issue is already a crisis.

What matters is recognising developments early and assessing them correctly.

We support companies with issue monitoring, crisis preparation and in acute situations.

Together we identify possible scenarios, responsibilities and stakeholders, develop lines of communication and put clear processes in place for an emergency.

Issue Monitoring

Recognising developments early

Many crises announce themselves: in expert discussions, in political debates, in individual media reports.

We monitor the topics that matter to you, put developments in context and show when an issue calls for action.

Crisis Preparation

Clear processes before it matters

In an emergency, there is no time to clarify responsibilities.

Together we work through possible scenarios, define roles and approval paths and prepare lines of communication for the most likely cases.

Acute Situations

Staying calm, deciding quickly

When an issue escalates, preparation and short lines count.

We support management and the crisis team in assessing the situation, align messages with legal counsel and coordinate communication internally and externally.

As much communication as necessary, as little as possible.

In sensitive situations especially, precision, confidentiality and a good sense of timing are decisive.

FAQ

Frequently Asked
Questions

Transparency matters to us. Here you will find answers to the most common questions.

As early as possible. In a crisis, the first hours determine what follows. Ideally we are already involved before the emergency through crisis plans and trainings – but even in an acute case we can take over communications steering at short notice.
Crises do not keep office hours. For ongoing mandates we therefore agree from the outset how we can be reached in an emergency and who takes on which role. That keeps the lines short when it matters.
Issue management starts earlier: we detect critical topics before they escalate and counter proactively. Crisis management applies once the situation is already acute. The two flow into each other – good issue monitoring often prevents a topic from becoming a crisis at all.
We develop crisis plans, define roles and escalation paths, prepare statements for relevant scenarios, and train your crisis team in realistic simulations. This buys you valuable time and confidence to act when it matters.
