SUMMARY:Issue and Crisis Management
DESCRIPTION:Overview: \nIssue Management is defined as the systemati
 c treatment by an organization of topics raised by the public in the w
 idest sense. Such topics have to be recognized early and have to trigg
 er an appropriate reaction, usually in the sense of an active particip
 ation in the public opinion making process or by organizational adapta
 tions.\nIssue management consists of (1) the identification, observati
 on and analysis of social, technological, political and economic force
 s and trends that may have an impact on the organization, (2) the inte
 rpretation and definition of ensuing implications and options, and (3)
  the selection and implementation of strategies for managing issues. I
 f issues get out of hand, crises follow. Three elements are common to 
 a crisis: (a) a threat to the organization, (b) the element of surpris
 e, and (c) a short decision time. It has also been suggested that a \"
 crisis is a process of transformation where the old system can no long
 er be maintained.\" Thus, the need for change usually is also a hallma
 rk of a crisis. In order to be able to handle a crisis, due to the ite
 ms mentioned above, it is necessary to develop a crisis management pla
 n, which compiles the methods how an organization should react in case
  of a crisis. Crisis management usually consists of different aspects
  including methods used to respond to both the reality and perception 
 of crises, establishing metrics to define what scenarios constitute a 
 crisis and should consequently trigger the necessary response mechanis
 ms and communication plans to handle the response phase of emergency-m
 anagement scenarios.If a crisis has the potential to likely cause a si
 gnificant disruption to an organization, a business continuity plan ca
 n help minimize the disruption. Critical functions and processes neces
 sary to keep the organization running have to be identified and contin
 gency plans for each function should be developed. Testing these conti
 ngency plans regularly in a simulation exercise will allow those invol
 ved to become more acutely aware of the possibility of a crisis and en
 able them to act more effectively in the event of an actual crisis. W
 hy should you Attend: There are two categories of companies: those th
 at have experienced a crisis and those that will. In order to react ap
 propriately to a crisis situation it is crucial to be prepared. The de
 velopment of a crisis management plan, the setup of a crisis response 
 team and performing crisis response exercises are key to being able to
  react swiftly and decisively. Very often, however, crisis situations 
 could have been avoided if the warning signals had been detected early
  and if they had triggered an appropriate reaction. Therefore, taking 
 appropriate measures to be prepared for issue management can help in a
 voiding costly remedy procedures for crisis cleanup.  \n\nCompliance4
