I have crisis on the brain tonight. I spoke to classes at Central Missouri State University on the topic Monday and we are preparing to conduct one of our crisis management workshops for a client this week. In perusing the news tonight, it's obvious there are plenty of reputations under fire out there. In just a few minutes I found these stories:
College testing is under fire as students received wrong test scores and two organizations that conduct the tests are now being sued.
Bausch & Lomb is halting shipment of a contact lens solution in Asia that may be linked to a rare fungus that can cause blindness.
And Tom Peters tells us tonight he is giving up. The reason: yet another CEO of a company is getting highly compensated even though the stock is heading the wrong way fast.
I found those in five minutes. Meanwhile Major League Baseball continues to flounder around on the steroid issue and Dan Gillmor reminds us the entire country is suffering from bad infrastructure.
Plenty of crisis management work to go around it would seem. But of course nothing bad will ever happen to "us."
