@CommsChat @endajoyce77 @TheWriter By breaking bad news, do you mean telling people bad news or chatting about 'Breaking Bad'? #commschat

@kchadda Not sure about 'excellent' but it should be interesting. Feel free to send questions in advance. #commschat

@CommsChat Hi, I work for a large manufacturer. Curious to know about approaches to social media use for crises. #commschat

@CommsChat virtually all crises are unexpected so planning not easy. It's more about speed and content of response #commschat

@CommsChat to respond to the unexpected swiftly and with accuracy #commschat

@CommsChat In the event of a crisis, you have to respond quickly. Can't be waiting for sign off or discussing what to say! #commschat

Robert Gage @robertcgage

19:06 - 15 Apr 13

Neil Cardwell @ncardwell

19:06 - 15 Apr 13

@CommsChat @endajoyce77 But does it? How many companies focus on the crisis, but not communicating about it? #commschat

@CommsChat Difficult to plan for the unexpected. But, planning can build internal infrastructure to help your organisation cope #commschat

Vici Cornwall @kikiloola

Gemma Storey @gemma_m_storey

19:10 - 15 Apr 13

@CommsChat Because there's no time for egos - but they don't cease to exist! Roles&responsibilities defined in advance is crucial #commschat

@CommsChat why a plan? So that they can respond quickly and correctly to the situation. #commschat

Martin Deller @dellerm

19:10 - 15 Apr 13

Vicky O'Hare @vickyohare

19:11 - 15 Apr 13

@CommsChat important to clearly set out who is responsible for what. Key people need to be pulled together #commschat

@adhocpr definitely, social media can be your best asset if you get it right but your enemy if ignored! #commschat

@CommsChat It also helps everyone stay on msg. Last thing you want in a crisis is people writing their own script as you go #commschat

@vickyohare Yes and you will never know the nature of the crisis but a toolkit in place will make things easier if it occurs #CommsChat

@endajoyce77 we've seen people go to pieces when a camera is put in front of them, even during a rehearsed 'crisis' #commschat

@Maxim_PR Too right. Imagine if the plan was wrong?#commschat

@CommsChat it's not just crises larg orgs need crises plans for, also important coming up to major org/restructuring announcement #commschat

Maxim @Maxim_PR

19:15 - 15 Apr 13

@robertcgage @Maxim_PR agreed practice is a good idea #CommsChat

@robertcgage which could easily happen. Until you try these things, you don't really know how it's going to pan out. #commschat

19:16 - 15 Apr 13

Padraic @padraic_knox

19:16 - 15 Apr 13

@CommsChat Yes have a crisis plan,but in an unpredictable world be prepared to revise/abandon it to respond to changing situation.#commschat

@CommsChat crises in orgs can also occur if major restructuring announcements are leaked. IC profs must know how to handle #commschat

Stacey Atkins @stackieb

19:16 - 15 Apr 13

@CommsChat plan helps you respond quickly as responsibilities are clear and some prep can be done to ensure noone gets forgotten! #commschat

@adhocpr @robertcgage @maxim_pr as they say 'practice makes perfect'! #commschat

Robert Gage @robertcgage

19:16 - 15 Apr 13

Neil Cardwell @ncardwell

19:16 - 15 Apr 13

@padraic_knox @CommsChat Yes. It's not just the apocalypse. Things like price rises, job cuts are crises that can be planned for. #commschat

@TheWriter Well put. Also important to game out absolute worst-case scenarios, not just 'soft' crisis, however uncomfortable. #commschat

Maxim @Maxim_PR

19:16 - 15 Apr 13

Robert Gage @robertcgage

19:17 - 15 Apr 13

@adhocpr We'd argue it's essential, especially if a company goes to the trouble of investing in a plan @robertcgage #commschat

@Maxim_PR Could and has. Regrettably #commschat

Maxim @Maxim_PR

Padraic @padraic_knox

19:17 - 15 Apr 13

@wandp well...perhaps not perfect, but near enough! #commschat

@CommsChat depends on culture, trust and level of engagement! This will determine channel #commschat

Adam @adamrubins

19:18 - 15 Apr 13

@Maxim_PR @adhocpr In heavy industry, rehearsing every aspect of a crisis is almost mandatory. #commschat

@CommsChat bad news should be communicated quickly and as open and transparent as possible. Hidden truths lead to further crisis #commschat

@CommsChat quickly and honestly! #commschat

19:18 - 15 Apr 13

@CommsChat Consistency and clarity is so important! Plus quickly! You can't wait to know everything and to delay leads to rumour #commschat

Montse Cano @MontseCano

19:18 - 15 Apr 13

Padraic @padraic_knox

19:18 - 15 Apr 13

@klathigra @CommsChat Agreed. Even when that'd involve forgetting about the effort previously made. #commschat

@CommsChat if you have a strong people manager community that can be trusted, use these as a Comms Chanel. #commschat

Vicky O'Hare @vickyohare

19:19 - 15 Apr 13

Padraic @padraic_knox

19:19 - 15 Apr 13

@endajoyce77 internal msg has to come first whatever happens, even if only by minutes #commschat

@CommsChat much better to hear bad news in a trusted environment of your immediate team than large gathering #commschat

Montse Cano @MontseCano

19:19 - 15 Apr 13

Martin Deller @dellerm

19:19 - 15 Apr 13

@padraic_knox @CommsChat The type of news could also determine how to do it. #commschat

@CommsChat some orgs shy away from bad news. Need to try and control the message. Especially in social media. Respond and engage #commschat

Robert Gage @robertcgage

19:20 - 15 Apr 13

19:20 - 15 Apr 13

@CommsChat Generally because if a blast furnace goes bang, it leaves a large mess. But it should be practised everywhere. #commschat

@endajoyce77 @commschat I'd have internal first if possible. Nothing worse than getting bad news from an external source! #commschat

Maxim @Maxim_PR

19:20 - 15 Apr 13

Neil Cardwell @ncardwell

19:21 - 15 Apr 13

@robertcgage @adhocpr yes, we work on a lot of energy projects (power stations, wind farms etc) and it's vital. #commschat

@CommsChat Tell Internal stakeholders before/same time as external. Speed, clarity, honesty, engagement make or break message. #commschat

Amanda Coleman @amandacomms

Padraic @padraic_knox

@endajoyce77 very true, has to be dictated by circumstances #commschat

@CommsChat however in crises team getogether not feasible! Your crises plan may lead to larger groups as everyone is pulled #commschat

Robert Gage @robertcgage

19:21 - 15 Apr 13

Amanda Coleman @amandacomms

19:22 - 15 Apr 13

@WandP @endajoyce77 @CommsChat Timing crucial. If org leaks like sieve, internal soon becomes external. #commschat

@robertcgage @WandP @endajoyce77 @CommsChat not just about leaks - organisations need to be transparent no choice in SM age #commschat

@ncardwell @CommsChat Absolutely - with the opportunity for 2 way. This is when social can come into it's own over email/video #commschat

@robertcgage anything put out internally has the potential to be on social media in seconds. Worth remembering #commschat

Martin Deller @dellerm

19:24 - 15 Apr 13

19:25 - 15 Apr 13

@Maxim_PR exactly. Need to engage and it potentially reaches more people. We set up dedicated social media teams in crisis #commschat

@vickyohare @robertcgage why would the internal message be any different to external? #commschat

19:25 - 15 Apr 13

Neil Cardwell @ncardwell

19:25 - 15 Apr 13

@vickyohare Sadly I think they are finding this out in Boston at the moment. Terrible. #commschat

@CommsChat @endajoyce77 Knowledge of the incident/topic is essential. High-level spokespeople can seem aloof if they lack it. #commschat

Amanda Coleman @amandacomms

Maxim @Maxim_PR

@hanovertweets very often the best spokesperson is someone with a genuine understanding of the issues and a confident speaker #CommsChat

@WandP @vickyohare It probably wouldn't but journalists don't want to find out from Twitter, and neither do staff. #commschat

Padraic @padraic_knox

19:29 - 15 Apr 13

@WandP @robertcgage you might have more detail initially in the staff message if you work on the basis of internal first. #commschat

@CommsChat @adhocpr depends on levels of trust. Do EEs believe your CEO or Senior team only make difficult division when needed #commschat
