Crisis Management

Whether it be a media, industrial, environmental, social or other type of crisis, it is a challenge that must be met and overcome to ensure the continuity of your company. When a crisis arises, events occur at speed, so fast in fact that it is difficult to respond to such events without prior preparation. Advance planning is thus critical to manage crisis, reduce their impact and emerge after a crisis in a stronger position.

Though it is not possible to pinpoint the emergence of a crisis, it is essential to prepare the organisation for once the crisis emerges. The different aspects of a crisis are controllable in part providing that appropriate measures have been taken.

The transversal organisation of Global Synergy Group is a major advantage for effective crisis management. At the centre of this organisation, the Crisis Director is at your side to coordinate the teams and establish post-crisis scenarios. Each area of expertise has an active role to play :

- Training : preparation of personnel and directors based on sensitization sessions on the different aspects of the crisis.
- Audit - Consultancy - Engineering : pre-crisis establishment of an Emergency Response Room (in sensitive sectors or when a crisis is imminent) is a key factor for success when a crisis occurs. The threat audit and risk mapping also allows serves to guide preventive monitoring.
- Business Intelligence : information acquisition capabilities are essential. Real-time information on the stakeholders and their interactions are essential advantages for proactive, effective communications management. Monitoring is also an excellent way to detect early warning signals allowing you to activate the crisis management process.
- Safety - Security : a site in crisis needs to be secured to ensure a rapid resumption of a company’s normal functioning. In certain cases, when a site is located abroad for example, the evacuation and exfiltration of staff and management may prove necessary.
- Labour Unrest Prevention & Management : labour disputes require specific communications management and negotiation support.

The teams of Global Synergy Group provides operational support during a crisis of whatever nature, to enable you to overcome such an event in the best conditions.
