Crisis & Issues Management

A crisis reveals the true character of a company. We help clients ensure they have the appropriate strategies and tactical plans in place – before a crisis happens – and stay on track and demonstrate leadership as a crisis unfolds. Typically, it is not matter of if, but when a major crisis materializes.

If a company fails to communicate efficiently internally and externally with its stakeholders during a crisis, the company may suddenly have a ‘double crisis’ which may lead to a significant loss of both business and reputational capital.

At Reliance, we work with clients dealing with a wide range of crisis situations. We help our clients map potential risks and vulnerabilities, and design responses to mitigate the risks before they happen. We ensure that when a crisis does occur, our experienced and senior advisers take prompt and constructive action to minimize any potential damage.
