In his presentation titled It’s Not If, But When, Martin shared guidance to manage a crisis situation with respect to internal teams, key stakeholders, and the media.  Several of those tips include:

  • Not every person absorbs, processes, and acts on information the same during a crisis situation.
  • Acknowledge that your information is currency and you must deliver it as such.
  • Emphasize preparation for any organization, regardless of the size.
  • The expectations of the media – they have a job.
  • The interview bill of rights – defend yourself and your company.
  • Tips for speaking with the media.
