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:
Bernstein Crisis Management helped us save the (pretend) day from a (simulated) ice and wind storm that could have (hypothetically) been (fake) devastating. Thanks fellas. Unity College is genuinely safer today because of you.
I had the good fortune of working with and learning from Bernstein Crisis Management over the course of several years wrought with great challenges and some formidable legal issues. Jonathan's ability to think clearly, write eloquently and meet tough deadlines under pressure made him a go-to crisis communications expert our executive team both trusted and enjoyed. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Bernstein Crisis Management again.
I have worked with Jonathan Bernstein for 25 years. He understands the ethical and professional constraints placed on lawyers and presents ideas that advance the client’s objectives while respecting our limitations. Creativity is a prized commodity and Jonathan is never without a novel or ingenious approach to a problem. While I have worked with other highly qualified crisis communications professionals over the years, I call Jonathan first. He is the best.
When you get well known for what you do, the media will want to interview you, which is a good way to get your message out or, alternatively, to look really bad. I’ve found that Jonathan Bernstein’s book and training are real-life preparation for whatever can happen, and they’ve helped me get the real stuff out there and keep out of trouble.
Bernstein Crisis Management was brought on when the school was undergoing a significant transition period. They worked with our board and senior leadership team to offer much-needed training, planning and direction. Since that time, they have provided the school with invaluable media training for our senior leadership team and key board members to ensure that we are better prepared as spokespeople. Furthermore, BCM conducted several sessions with the leadership and management team to conduct a vulnerability audit for the school in order to develop a crisis communications plan that serves as a roadmap for the school during potential crises. As a multi-campus international school with diverse constituent groups, our communications require particular sensitivities which BCM has always responded to and understood.
Bernstein Crisis Mangement's professionalism, sense of urgency, unrivaled expertise and accessibility have had immeasurable positive impact on our company. I always seek their guidance and counsel when it comes to crisis communications and crisis management in general. Jonathan is also a great trainer for media interaction. I highly recommend BCM!
Bernstein Crisis Management's help was invaluable in preparing the communication plans for our company as we sold off all of the various divisions on behalf of the owners. Some of the messages were particularly challenging and with their help we successfully communicated with all of the relevant stakeholders throughout the process.
