| Issues Management |
We help our clients understand the critical role that prevention plays in stemming a sensitive business issue’s tidal progression toward crisis.
Issues management is a specialized branch of risk management. Here the primary risks can raise a company’s public visibility in a way that it least desires while diminishing its reputation with devastating dispatch. Organizations with successful issues management programs are able to identify challenges in the business environment—both internal and external—before they become crises. These organizations enjoy the competitive advantage of being able to nimbly mobilize resources to deflect potential harm to reputation, operations, and financial condition.
We study best practices in issues management and work closely with our clients to help them develop robust in-house issues management teams, processes and protocols. Helio Fred Garcia teaches issues management in a crisis management seminar in the Executive MBA program of the Stern School of Business at New York University and a crisis communication course in New York University’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies.
