Gestión de la Comunicación de Crisis

Gestión de la Comunicación de Crisis refers to the fact that, regardless of their dimension, companies are required to have constant crisis management. A crisis exposes the several levels of readiness and response capabilities of an organization, testing its values, its leadership, or its reputation in situations where there is no room for mistakes.

Technology and social media have been exponentially exposing the crisis visibility, which may lead to a bigger exposure of the reputation risk. When a crisis is well managed with a proper response that results in credibility, the damage tends to be reduced. A mature crisis management system, built upon communication, aims to support all of the life cycles of this crisis scenario, from its identification to its overcoming.

Therefore, crisis management is a tool available for organizations to respond to critical situations. By definition, it’s the preparation and application of strategies that may prevent or modify the impact of negative events within the organization. The consequences of poor crisis management are hard to envisage, and the survival of companies that are in crisis—depending on how it impacts its audience—may be put to the test.

A crisis may call into question the image of the organization and its credibility. Crisis Communication Management must start with the elaboration of a plan that considers different scenarios and the respective steps to take. Crisis plans must be transparent, cross cutting the entire organization, and revaluated, restructured, and readapted over time.

It is imperative that everyone can identify a crisis scenario and know what procedures to adopt. Every company is unique, and there are no standard crises. In a time where news goes viral almost instantly and las noticias falsas spreads faster than ever, organizations need to be ready to respond quickly, swiftly, and efficiently to any crisis.

Since every company is unique, so is the work developed by Relaciones Públicas Portugal en Gestión de Comunicación de Crisis.
