Crisis Games for Nonprofits: Crisis Manager Davia Temin to Present New Social Media "Crisis Case" to Foundation Executives

NEW YORK, March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- "Nonprofits are as prone to crisis – and as devastated by it – as public companies are," says crisis and reputation manager Davia Temin, CEO of Temin and Company. "Especially in the age of social media, when crisis hits nonprofits or universities, donations can dry up, partners can be alienated, and employees can decamp."

Speaking today on "Your Foundation in Crisis: Will You Be Ready?" at Philanthropy New York – a nonprofit membership association of foundations and corporate funders in the New York region – Ms. Temin will present a new, reality-based social media "crisis case" simulation, designed specifically for nonprofits. This interactive, hands-on seminar will help nonprofit professionals develop strategies for effectively responding to and mitigating crisis, particularly over social media.

Ms. Temin's "Crisis Game" case methodology – based on the interactive seminars on media and society created by Fred Friendly, with whom she had worked – aims to stress-test individuals in a crisis, allowing them to role-play different scenarios and gauge their reaction to hypothetical situations.

"This is the best way to approximate a real crisis – and see how individuals will react," says Ms. Temin, who works with global boards, CEOs, corporations, universities, foundations, and nonprofit organizations on reputation and crisis management, and media, marketing, and social media strategy. "The method works very well with corporate leaders, and I think it should also work well with nonprofit leaders."

Ms. Temin speaks frequently to corporate and nonprofit audiences on a wide range of topics, including social media, reputation and crisis management, leadership and presence, as well as resilience and creating trust. She is a contributor to Forbes.com with a column, "Reputation Matters," as well as to other publications. Find her on Twitter @DaviaTemin.
