About Alex de Vries

Alex de Vries challenges his audience to put themselves in the shoes of entrepreneurs and executives whose reputation is under fire. A crisis is always more than bad publicity. It is primarily a personal test to take and show responsibility. From the realization that trust among stakeholders is indeed under pressure, but it is not easy to do the right thing.

Alex approaches complex strategic issues openly and with humor. This inspires and captivates his audience. He speaks the language of entrepreneurs like no other, gained as a former financial journalist through hundreds of interviews and foreign trade trips. And for the last 12 years as a strategic advisor through countless advisory conversations, presentations, and training sessions.

Alex supports companies and organizations across all sectors. He excels as a sounding board for executives and top managers. He listens carefully to discover what they find important and challenging, and why. In this way, he collaborates with them to find the right solution and tone during a crisis.

A crisis is always more than bad publicity. It is primarily a personal test to take and show responsibility.

During a lecture or masterclass, he takes you into the world of crisis management and the challenges that come with it. He vividly recounts various crises and what it is like when your reputation is publicly at stake. From bankruptcies, gas drilling, layoffs to significant government intervention, inappropriate behavior, and critical stakeholders such as media, trade unions, regulators, and NGOs.

Like no other, Alex stimulates the curiosity of his audience. As a result, you will look at the importance of professional crisis management, how to organize and execute it, in a completely different way afterward. And never to forget: every crisis is an opportunity.

Specialist Subjects

1. What is a crisis and how do you prevent it?

Many companies and organisations are caught off guard by a crisis and realise too late the reputational risks they face. Alex explains what you can do in terms of prevention and awareness within your company or organisation to pick up critical signals earlier. And thus prevent a crisis and reputational damage. With a practical exercise, he challenges his audience.

2. Crisis management and leadership go hand in hand

Never waste a good crisis, is the well-known saying. Yet the opposite is true for most top managers and executives. When their reputation is under fire, they often react emotionally and defensively about so much ‘injustice’ and ‘criticism’. Alex explains how he helps them to look more from the outside in and take their responsibility as a leader.

3. Proactive communication really works

Experience shows that proactive and open communication during a crisis is the best approach. Take control of your own narrative to positively influence the perception. With only one goal, to ensure the survival of your own organisation. Alex demonstrates with current crisis examples how to do this.

4. Building trust

We stop daily at a red traffic light and expect the same from other road users. That’s called trust. The same applies to a company. Customers and other stakeholders expect all sorts of things from you every day. And they are happy to work with you if they trust you. How do you manage your reputation effectively in a dynamic, online society? A society where critical citizens, consumers, and others are constantly in conversation with each other and facts are increasingly overshadowed. Alex provides valuable tips.
