Posted by Jeff Jackson in August 29th 2011

From the book series’ birth 14 years ago, my family and I were enchanted with the protagonist Harry, his friends and enemies, and their remarkable adventures. My kids were 12 and 10 back then, and have grown into young adulthood following the unfolding dramas at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and beyond.

Of course, PR professionals are actively discussing how Google + can be used in traditional PR and Marketing roles.  However, the question that comes to mind with this new platform are the benefits and challenges for those practicing in crisis communications.  After reviewing the site as well as several articles, here are a few things that I have seen that Google + can be helpful for crisis communication professionals:

“Thinking in the future tense.”
