Last month, Microsoft software applications around the world were paralyzed by a defective update put out by the cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. The chaos that ensued has provided ample material for a crisis communications case study that will soon be taught in classrooms. Millions of stranded travelers. 911 phones lines disconnected. Hospitals offline. Live television broadcasts disrupted. Delta Air Lines and Microsoft suing each other in a heated, public fight. I’ve been exchanging notes with my team and journalists about how the crisis communications surrounding all of this has played out. Here are three high-level thoughts about CrowdStrike that keep coming up in our conversations. (Also, I’ve put into the comments section below a recent appearance on Fox Business Network and article in Business Insider where I go into greater detail on some of these ideas.) 1. The CrowdStrike mess demonstrates the increasing importance of high-quality and nimble crisis communications in a deeply interconnected and technology dependent world. All it took was one company to ship one piece of faulty code for millions of people to be left stranded and many Fortune 500 companies vulnerable. When something goes wrong, organizations big and small have to rely on their communications team to quickly get their bearings and deliver an effective message. So many failed to live up to that mandate. For instance, Delta declined to comment on many articles as the plaintiff’s lawyers bringing suit against them had free reign to define the narrative, and paint the airline as incompetent and uncaring. You do not get another bite at that apple. The damage could be lasting. 2. This case highlights the need to balance legal risk with reputational risk. Very often, the legal team will tell you not to say anything. They are not always right. There are times when it makes sense to take some legal risk to deliver a message that will mitigate the reputational risk of a crisis. 3. Nontraditional approaches to corporate and crisis communications – including humor— can be very effective in a meme era. For instance, the Crowdstrike President’s decision to accept the “Most Epic Fail Award” provided a very effective vehicle for his company to take responsibility and focus attention on what they are doing to improve in the future.

Nathan Miller calls on business leaders to condemn violence following the assassination attempt on former President Trump.
What should business leaders say right now in the wake of the assassination attempt on President Trump? I shared some thoughts on this over the weekend with Axios (link to the article in the comments). Here's what I said to the reporter: Corporate leaders have been increasingly inclined to issue statements on social, cultural and political issues over the last two decades – and in many cases, it hasn’t gone so well for them. There are many perils and pitfalls associated with commenting. It’s easy to alienate customers, employees, investors, and elected leaders. Corporate comms teams and their outside PR firms often lack subject matter expertise on complicated policy issues or foreign affairs – and they can make big, embarrassing mistakes. It’s not always easy to see the second and third order consequences for getting embedded in an issue. That is why we have seen a notable course correction on this trend. I counsel clients to be very selective as to when they comment. Everyone doesn’t have to weigh in on everything. When it feels like you are just jumping on a bandwagon and you issue a comment that feels inauthentic it is hugely counterproductive. It is much more effective to wait for a time when you truly have something to offer that moves a conversation forward or provides clarity for your employees or other stakeholders. However, this is not the time to avoid comment. Political violence fundamentally threatens the security and stability of the country. America is different than so many other places because we don’t make decisions about who rules based on the whims of a mob or the barrel of a gun. Our society needs its leaders – including those in the business community – to make clear that there is no place for violence like this. Employees will be looking for reassurance right now. They want to know that the country is not going to tear itself apart – and that their jobs and communities will remain stable. I expect to see a lot of communicating in the days ahead to let employees, customers, and other stakeholders know that companies are adults in the room – and doing what they can to prevent the country from spiraling out of control.
