Based on an assessment of an organization’s roles, responsibilities and capabilities, Tom helps them build policies, plans and procedures through the application of best practices, training, and strong collaborative relationships with external partners.  A major focus of his efforts is on the role of senior leadership and public messaging in a crisis.
