The objective of this case is to understand the importance of crisis management. This case is intended to make the reader consider not only financial implications at the time of the event but the effects on the long term strategies of the organization. Also, the case urges participants to think about the consequences not only on the customer but on those within the organization as well.

In America health care as always been a big controversy, because since the beginning they have always tried to find the perfect health care system that works for everyone. As one can imagine it is pretty hard to find a single health care plan to work for over 300 million people. The States has defiantly tried its several different ways of coming up with one system to work, but it seems that over time new and better ideas come along. It all started with domestic medicine where as one would go to his immediate family for help if he/she got some sort of sickness, and would only go to a medicine man or something if it was life threatening. Then

The Nuance Group, a successful management consulting company, with a reputation of experienced and highly educated consultants, was facing the crisis brought by its great “reputation”. As a consultancy, it’s their profession to market themselves.
