Why attend
Research by Oxford Metrica and others shows that a client's reputation is not necessarily damaged by a crisis itself. What does harm to their share-price, sales, trade relationships, media profile, recruitment potential, government relations and standing in the community is being seen to handle the communications around a crisis badly.
Most companies will experience a business-threatening event once every five years. When it happens, clients suddenly find themselves under the media spotlight, with intense and unwelcome public attention catching them off-guard. Some firms acquit themselves well, and often acquire a better reputation in the aftermath. Others try to hide and take years to recover. A few are wiped out forever by lack of foresight.
