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:

  • Stuff has hit the fan, people and/or reputation are threatened and business interrupted.
  • You’re sick and tired of being surprised by crises and want to be better prepared.
  • Your organization’s reputation is being attacked in search results or on review sites.
  • Journalists want to talk to you about a difficult subject and you need to be better prepared.
  • You’re soon going to need to deliver negative news to your important stakeholders, e.g., employees, customers, or investors.
