Undoubtedly, a good reputation is the most valuable asset that any company can have and more than its buildings, its material ownership, and rather than the work teams, corporate image is what has more value in any company.

This is when we read in newspapers that a company is suddenly sued by journalists or media managers. Handling of this crisis is useless because it wastes valuable resources in activities that do nothing to help protect the corporate image which has been damaged.

Administration, Liquidation, Company Voluntary Arrangement and to a lesser extent, Receivership can be used to settle insolvency cases. All require the involvement of a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner.

By this point the company should not be trading or carrying out any transactions anymore, and all assets should be listed.

The company must also be able to predict their own profitability through both a quarterly and yearly figure set and the directors must also think that a hostile creditor will seriously affect the future trading possibilities; this is usually the landlord or the crown creditors.

They will need to stop operating and doing business as soon as they realise they can no longer fund themselves and call a meeting of everyone involved. Compulsory liquidation occurs when the company cannot actually pay off the money owed to its debtors.

But some of the same tactics we use on the "defense" side of such matters can also, very effectively, be used to deliberately expand the scope of a crisis, to encourage others who might otherwise not be involved to GET involved and concerned.

Most likely, you are either brushing the idea aside, preferring not to think about it, or you have purchased business insurance and feel that you are covered well and do not have to worry.

Failing as a business manager is not a one day event. You must have been doing something wrong for a certain period before it manifests as business failure. As a manager, you must discover what exactly causes you to loose balance and work on it thoroughly. This may take you some time especially if you are the type that does not accept criticisms. You must understand that not all critics are meant to put you down.

Although this is agreed upon by most, the area of what is considered crisis management has expanded to areas such as short term decisions as well as the unpredictable changes in the market.

I thought I knew how to close the store, seemed simple enough, put some signs up, notify the public and mark down the inventory. That's easy! LOL!

If they were to rephrase the question by asking how much of your business is run on your computer systems and how much those computer systems are worth, then the proverbial light bulb comes on.

If there's anyone who needs to walk their talk on connectivity and accessibility, it's those of us who work in the field of crisis management. However, by extension, anyone who might end up becoming engaged in crisis response also needs to have a very high level of connectivity and accessibility or at least be able to ramp up those levels as needed.

Managers are recording some of the best performances in their careers. The economic recession which had hit the global business activities is slowly facing the exit doors. Consequently, managers who 'think outside the box' are putting down structures to ensure that they gain maximum profits in the next few weeks. Unfortunately, on the other hand, other managers are still struggling to survive the crisis. The truth is that you should now be getting prepared to reap more profits.

Properly planned disaster recovery solutions provide for business continuity in the event of natural or human-induced disasters, such as fire, theft, malfunction or terrorism. Planning for potentially devastating events now can help ensure your company's survival in the future.

Fortunately, it's a problem that can easily be avoided with the correct preparation. While devastating amounts of data can be lost during catastrophes like hurricanes, the September 11 terrorist attacks, fires and floods - it doesn't take such large events to cause a business to lose important data. It can be as simple as dropping a laptop to the floor, or a power surge that results in burning out a storage device. If you don't have your crucial data backed up, even a small situation can turn into a disaster.
