The ticking clock of crisis communication ... why time is your most crucial ally in in managing corporate crises. Wearing my Garrick Communications Ltd CEO hat today, I contributed an article to The Jamaica Observer around the important role that "time" plays when navigating a crisis after seeing multiple corporate crises being played out in our local media and online. "In today’s fast-paced, hyper-connected world, crises don’t just unfold — they explode. One moment, you’re conducting business as usual, and the next, you’re bombarded with negative headlines, social media outrage, and public scrutiny. For companies, the speed at which a crisis escalates is often beyond their control. However, what can be controlled is how swiftly and effectively they respond. Time is the most critical element in managing a crisis, and it can mean the difference between recovery and reputation damage that lasts for years."

Managing #crisis in the digital age presents unique challenges. Decision makers are often separated from the actual incident by time and distance and those "on the ground" are challenged with providing real-time actionable intelligence that gets mixed with rumor and misinformation. Looking forward to this opportunity to share with Melissa Agnes and the Crisis Ready Institute during this masterclass. #crisiscommunications
