• {{stakeholder_groups}}: The internal and external groups involved (e.g., employees, clients, partners, regulators).
• {{key_concerns}}: The main worries or priorities of each stakeholder group, if known.
• {{current_communication}}: Any existing communication channels or messages already in use.

Instructions

2. Identify the key stakeholder groups and their likely concerns during the specified crisis.
3. Develop a communication strategy that addresses each group's needs, including messaging, channels, and frequency.
4. Propose methods to proactively address concerns and build trust, such as transparency, empathy, and regular updates.
5. Suggest ways to manage conflicting priorities among stakeholders, prioritizing transparency and alignment with organizational values.
6. Provide a step-by-step plan for implementing the strategy, including roles and responsibilities.

Output format Provide a structured communication plan with sections for stakeholder analysis, messaging, channels, timeline, and conflict management. Use clear headings and bullet points. Keep the tone professional and empathetic.
