Issues and Crisis Management

Don’t let an issue become a crisis. But if it does, make sure it’s handled right.

Your organization’s reputation is your most valuable asset. What you do, and more importantly, how you respond to an issue is critical. It’s important to ensure your first response is the best response to protect against an issue becoming a crisis. But if it does, you need a plan of action. CSG can help you control the conversation and get back on track.

How we can help:

  • Issues management
  • Crisis planning and communications
  • Reputation management
  • Crisis scenario training

Media Training

Put your best foot forward. Speak to media with confidence and clarity.

Talking may be easy, but getting your point across effectively can be challenging. When the camera begins to roll, and the pressure is on, don’t get caught with your tongue tied. CSG will work with you to ensure you get your side of the story out and direct the narrative.

How we can help:

  • Message delivery techniques
  • Mock press conferences
  • Media monitoring
  • Key message development and refinement
