In the fast-paced world where companies are under constant scrutiny, the execution of an effective response to issues is of paramount importance. A misstep in issues and crisis management can lead to severe outcomes, including a damaged reputation, legal consequences, and a significant hit to financial performance. Despite the high stakes, organizations often struggle with their issues response due to challenges such as undefined roles, lack of procedures, insufficient resources, unprecedented scales of issues, and the complexities of managing narratives across various media channels.
