and Contingency Planning
A
Joint Program Between NJ/IABC and NJ PRSA and CCI
DATE June 22, 2005
OVERVIEW When trouble hits, reputations can be made or broken in hours
or even minutes. During this critical time, a company can create a
lasting bond with its customers or sustain irreparable damage. Sometimes,
the damage is easily quantified – legal liabilities, lost productivity,
orders cancelled. In other instances, the damage to corporate reputation
is beyond the measurement of stock price or orders – it is the
difference between existing or going out of business. James E. Lukaszewski,
President of Lukaszewski, and Michael Turner, Group VP of Public Affairs
for MWW Group, engaged thirty communicators with intense conversation.
