Crisis Prevention

Excellent crisis management begins before the crisis breaks out. Prevention is more cost effective than post-crisis support, since it costs a lot of time and money to restore an image which has already been damaged. Independent of the type of crisis, a well prepared crisis team can cope with any fallout. Skilled employees, agile crisis management and sober decision making help you to steer the right course.

We help you prepare – for example with a crisis audit, a crisis simulation, workshops with your crisis team or corresponding hand books. We work with benchmarks to ensure and organised management process. Our goal is always to enable your organisation to act better under pressure. Your structures become antifragile.

Approach

First, we audit existing preventative measures. Our focus is on structures, processes, instruments, abilities and issues. With this analysis, we obtain an overview that enables us to formulate goals. Together, we develop a desired environment that we use to infer the needs of relevant stakeholders. The result are partial goals that can be translated into intermediate steps. After that, suitable preventative measures are taken.
