Crisis Management In The Media

CRiSIS Planning And Media COMMUNICATION EXPERTS

The Drill’s crisis management consultants make news headlines: Part of our crisis planning ethos is to try to help businesses shape the developing narrative via judicious media and stakeholder engagement, to take crisis-hit companies from unsafe ground to safer terrain.

Also, when crises break, media journalists/producers often ask Drill experts - all crisis management specialists - to offer insights and observations to boost understanding of the crisis communication issues at play. Our experts have vital international and hands-on crisis management consultancy expertise, which is transferred into our crisis management planning tools and crisis software.

Drawing on years of frontline crisis management consultancy, Drill staff enact crisis fixes and crisis solutions to help businesses overcome their PR and operational problems. Your crisis response plans can be improved just by reading some of the articles below, featuring our proprietary approaches and methodologies for crisis management puzzles. The articles do not constitute specific advice or counsel, but we believe their principles to be, without guarantee, thought-provoking! So when you’re ready for better crisis management planning or preparation, call us.

We hope you enjoy the read.

"Blown away by the best (crisis) training session I’ve ever attended."

Crisis Management Advice

Crisis management planning and crisis simulations aren’t always the easiest place to harvest client plaudits; oftentimes, a good crisis simulation exercise or crisis scenario creates more challenges, confrontations and worries than it creates awe!

So it’s an enlightened client or delegate who acknowledges the uncomfortable feelings generated, yet recognises, too, the true value of that discomfort. While protecting the delegate’s identity, they do work for a global management consultancy, with its own ‘peak practice’ in crisis consulting. So, it is high praise indeed for The Drill Crisis Simulator.

Crisis Simulation Software

When we asked this client what they found particularly valuable about our software, they confirmed that the mild anxiety, concern for decision-making and physiological stress responses our scenario engendered, all sharpened their focus - almost as if the adrenalin has pump-primed their concentration capabilities.

They added that our Drill ‘stress test’ helped them develop an innate knowledge of their own strengths and weaknesses (under crisis simulation duress), and yet they equally felt supported and guided (by Drill crisis trainers) when tasked with making incident-critical decisions. and taking opportunities that presented within the scenario.

Crisis Training Software

Our interactive portal was praised too, with its interactive smarts being acclaimed as being at the forefront of the technological curve (of crisis simulation software). Whether we’re delivering our crisis simulation training online, or as part of a crisis command centre’s crisis rehearsal session, our portal is flexible enough - and tailorable enough - to configure to most crisis planning needs. And if you’re running a crisis audit, crisis management review, staff crisis refresher or a scenario tester, The Drill can be deployed to suit pretty much all requirements (so it’s more flexible than many other crisis simulator systems are).

The Best Training Session I Ever Had

For the final word on ‘the best training session I ever had’ (from the best crisis management consultants we’d remind the delegate;)) we can leave you with his concluding remarks: “Can’t recommend this highly enough; it will put you through your paces, testing/building your crisis muscle memory.”

Was the last crisis simulation or crisis planning session the best one you ever had? Feel free to contact us to discuss our free crisis consultation, and how we can help take your staff crisis training to the next level.
