Fewer Than Half of U.S. Companies Have a Crisis Communication Plan - RockDove Solutions Returns to DRJ Fall 2025 With Aim to Change That
RockDove Solutions teams up with ICM CEO Deborah Hileman to share strategies for confident, coordinated crisis response.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Less than 50% of U.S. companies reported having a formal crisis communication strategy in place (Capterra, 2023), making it one of the most overlooked yet essential elements of a Business Continuity Plan (BCP). Too often, BCPs fall short for the same reason: communication. Without clear internal and external channels, organizations risk silos, delays, and breakdowns when speed and accuracy matter most.
To address this gap, RockDove Solutions has partnered with the Institute for Crisis Management (ICM) to provide organizations with the tools, training, and guidance needed to establish reliable crisis communication practices. Together, the two organizations are helping businesses strengthen their BCPs so teams remain coordinated and operations continue during disruptive events.
“Post event reviews consistently call out the need for improved coordination and communication. The result is stakeholders and response teams struggle, brands and reputations are tarnished, and stockholder equity is lost. Successful risk planners are investing in crisis management frameworks that are tech enabled from the start,” said Chris Britton, Founder and General Manager of RockDove Solutions.
Committed to helping organizations build stronger continuity plans, RockDove Solutions is returning to the Disaster Recovery Journal (DRJ) Fall 2025 conference as a Silver Sponsor, exhibitor, and presenter in Grapevine, TX, September 7–10, 2025. Britton will be joined by ICM CEO, Deborah Hileman, for a presentation, “Crisis Communications that Work: Strategies and Tools for Confident, Coordinated Response.”
Their session will explore how organizations can train employees to carry out crisis communications effectively. Attendees will learn practical steps for planning, aligning stakeholders, and maintaining readiness to minimize impact, protect reputation, and recover more quickly. The presentation will also highlight how modern technology, combined with experienced guidance, can simplify communication workflows, ensure secure information sharing, and make continuity plans more actionable.
“The focus of our unique partnership is to arm clients with 21st century plans, tools and training that are custom-fit, accessible and relevant. By pairing crisis communication planning and strategy with cutting edge technology, our partnership is preparing our clients to be ready to respond from anywhere 24/7,” added Hileman.
