Crisis Management Visionary companies prepare for problems and crisis well before any crisis erupts. Opponents and critics alike can devote significant effort to attack your organization’s reputation. If given the upper hand, they can frame the agenda of debate and dominate the conversation in the media, blogosphere and online information sources. Without an effective counter-effort, they will control the situation and the loss to your business and revenues could be incalculable. The typical DAVIES crisis management project never sees the light of day – people never hear about it or they don't remember it happened.
