Recover
Once a crisis has ended, it’s time to repair the damage caused to your reputation and build a reservoir of goodwill to insulate your reputation from a future crisis. However, most companies simply move on, returning to their day-to-day activities without a recovery plan.
You have a choice. You can continue to dodge repetitional bullets, gambling on the strength of your response capability as you trudge from one crisis to the next. Or you can build a bulletproof reputation.
No bulletproof reputation was ever built on crisis response alone.
The first few days following a crisis are just as critical as the early moments of the crisis itself. Just as a crisis will not respond to itself, reputation will not recover on its own. You need a plan.

- Analyzing the team’s crisis response with a focus on identifying any gaps in skills, processes or tactics
- Developing a reputation recovery plan with an emphasis on filling the reservoir of goodwill with the people who matter most to you
