  23. How crises unfold 1 – Origin: potential issues The stage when an organisation attaches significance to a perceived problem or opportunity that is a consequence of a developing political/regulatory, economic and social trend.

  24. How crises unfold 2 – Mediation and amplification: emerging issue As momentum builds with the mass media, the concern becomes a public issue, followed by a gradual increase in the level of pressure on the organisation to accept it. It is relatively easy for the organisation to intervene and play a proactive role

  25. How crises unfold 3 – Organisation: current and crisis issue The issue is displaying its full potential to those involved. Groups begin to see a resolution to the conflict that is either in their best interest or minimises potential reputational damage. It is very difficult to influence the situation now

  26. How crises unfold 4 – Resolution: dormant issue The issue receives the attention of public officials and enters the policy process, either through changes to legislation or new, costly regulation. Opportunity to move on, restore the brand
