Crisis Management and Crisis Communication Consulting

Colorado takes a leadership and consulting perspective on crisis management. Issues management asks how developing trends may signal a problem, while consulting practice considers how to advise an organization. It suits learners who want to connect an early warning with a structured recommendation and understand how leadership style can influence a response.

What you will learn

• Explore issues management and early-warning trends.
• Consider leadership effects on crisis response.
• Develop structured crisis-consulting recommendations.

Who this suits

Beginners interested in organizational leadership and crisis communication, including learners reviewing how an adviser can support a response.

Before you enroll

Build a communication plan around verified information and a clearly identified audience. Check factual claims, permissions and disclosure requirements before using material publicly. Practice with fictional organizations and incidents; course exercises do not create media relationships or guarantee coverage. In a real crisis, coordinate communication with the people responsible for the response.
