Crisis management

Does Your Indian Tribe Even Have a Crisis Management Plan?

Business, Crisis Communication, Native American, Public Relations

When a crisis breaks, an Indian tribe’s state of preparedness makes the difference between survival and catastrophic loss.

Crisis management is an essential and absolutely critical organizational function in today’s frenzied storm of politics, media biases, commercial business, big data breaches, finance, Coronavirus (covid-19) and other public health emergencies (disease outbreaks, emergency relief, etc.) and so much more.  Failure to professionally plan for the occurrence of—and proactively manage—crises typically results in significant monetary losses for a company, while destroying its Tribal Council / Business Committee leadership’s reputation and credibility.

Overwhelmingly, most traditional Public Relations professionals, agencies, and especially in-house departments or personnel lack the wholistic expertise, experience, and methodology necessary to best prepare and effectively manage a comprehensive crisis communications plan. While Public Relations professionals are the paramount leadership component to all crisis communications teams, most have never been “in the trenches” with hundreds of millions of dollars in losses, complex legal situations, and negative media coverage riding on their decisions, or worse yet— never actually trained to do so.
