About the Forum

Panama Papers, iCloud leaks of celebrity photo, Wells Fargo Accounts Scandal, Ebola Virus Disease, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, New South Wales Bushfires and others are just some of the many crises that have occurred in the past 2 years. All these events are proven to be poles apart from each other yet share the same traits of a crisis. Lucid communication is essential in limiting the damage that could be done to an organization in time of crisis and a highly agile crisis management plan could ensure that the crisis could be mitigate or well attended.
