In crisis management, the threat is the potential damage a crisis can inflict on an organization, its reputation, its stakeholders, and an industry.

In order to mitigate a crisis and to minimize the damage from one, any crisis, whether offline or online needs to be dealt with in a swift but strategic manner.

Issue management

Using an Issue Management Process, we can identify and resolve issues in a project or organization quickly, before they have an undesirable impact. Therefore, whether it’s a setback, obscurity, or other issues, this process will guide you through the steps toward a speedy resolution.

The component parts of issue management are:

  • To identify, analyze and prioritize actual, emerging, and potential issues
  • To mobilize and coordinate the resources to deal with the issue
  • To actively and strategically influence the outcome
