In this brief presentation, Jim Lukaszewski outlines a simple metric for categorizing crises within organizations. He asserts that roughly 95% of crises stem from routine operational issues that are typically managed by internal staff and pose little threat to the organization’s reputation or future business. The remaining 5% are non‑operational crises—highly emotional, victim‑producing events that can overwhelm management and trigger poor, reputation‑damaging responses. The talk emphasizes the importance of recognizing this split to allocate resources appropriately and avoid overreacting to low‑impact operational problems while preparing for the disproportionate impact of emotional crises.
