Praise for Risk Issues and Crisis Management
“It used to be said that ‘reward is commensurate with risk’; now I fear more apt is ‘risk is likely to end in crisis’. Who better to guide us through the risk/crisis minefield than Mike Regester and Judy Larkin, who have guided so many so well for so many years. Read it before you need to would be my advice.”
Robert Worcester, Chairman, MORI
“As one involved in MBA teaching and executive development, I find this book invaluable – not only for students, but also for managers seeking insights into these crucial areas of modern management. It’s a clear and highly readable overview of the requirements of risk, issues and crisis management, informed by the expertise and experience of two leading practitioners and consultants, as well as by skillfully chosen and
‘classic’ case studies. The book is recommended early reading for any manager involved in risk assessment, in trying to understand and manage issues, and concerned to prepare him or herself for the demands of crisis management.”
Jon White, Associate, The John Madejski Centre for Reputation,
Henley Management College
“In a world where the hardest won corporate reputation can disappear overnight, this is required reading. Industry has learned little from the mistakes of the past, say the authors, who go on to give a compelling account of just how much there is to learn. Their first-hand experience in dealing with reputational issues and managing crisis shines through.”
Paul Marriage, Head of Corporate Communications, Standard Chartered Bank
“Regester Larkin is a key business partner helping us to shape our thinking on proactively managing our reputation. This book is a leading work on reputation management.”
Isobel Hoseason, Director of Communications, National

    Sometimes it is something that we can predict. Other times the crisis happens upon us suddenly and without warning. In departments such as the Emergency Department (ED), crisis can generally be expected and the ED staff can safely believe that there will be a crisis during their shift. The outcome of the crisis can depend on how it is approached and dealt with. A patient’s rapid deterioration of their state of health or arrest in front of the family is a common crisis situation that occurs where I work. This puts the staff as well as the patient and patient’s family in crisis mode. I feel that my job as the patient’s nurse is to make sure that the situation flows as efficiently as possible. Crisis communication needs to be initiated immediately. My verbal and nonverbal communication can affect the situation. I also need to pick up on the verbal and nonverbal cues of the family. It is also important to collaborate with the team, listen to both staff and families and communicate in a professional manor. Active listening is a prominent quality of a leader, along with how they lead the team. A positive approach is always best while maintaining clear and concise communication. There are times when it is necessary to use assertive communication. This is true when dealing with a difficult person, staff or family member. The nurse needs to be a leader, professional and assertive in order to…

    Risk management is vital to ascertain vulnerabilities within health care organizations, keep them in check, mitigate the repercussions from these risks, and prevent harm to patients. If organizations do not follow a risk management protocol then breaches result with catastrophic consequences. For instance, St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center (SEMC) is a tertiary care hospital located in Brighton, Massachusetts that offers both inpatient and outpatient services. On November 16, 2012, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) received notification that SEMC used an internet-based document sharing application to store documents containing electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 498 patients without having analyzed the risks associated…
