Issue Life Cycle: About
Issue life cycles are seldom smooth
1. Normal
No further variables change progress of the issue. This is the ideal, simplistic situation. Mostly the life cycle momentum changes course for a range of
reasons.
2. Changing direction
Stopped - new facts or stakeholder actions stop issue.
Interrupted - same as stopped.
Stages skipped - crisis occurs or new facts galvanise attention.
New stakeholders may enter. Outcomes of other issues push issue along.

Issue Life Cycle: About (cont.)
3. Repeating
a. Cyclical
New facts cause reinterpretation or reassessment of issue.
Stakeholders entering or exiting cause
issue to move back and forward.
b. Enduring
New facts constantly enter and alter face of issue...

Issue Recovery: Overview
Recovery tends to be put in the background while issues are dealt with.
After a major issue, managers try to return to business as usual. They may try to see an adverse issue outcome as a rare event, and can ignore its lessons.
Whats more, If legal problems arise out of the issue, ...managers try to dodge personal blame.
Often, successful issue management results in no apparent change, e.g. stopping new legislation/regulations. Therefore managers are likely to see IM as merely a cost, ...without understanding the success and importance of the result. Accordingly, the positive outcome needs to be sold to management.

another.
b. Organisations that focus on continuing businessand reputation recovery may lack proper
processes for... ...effective management of longer-term
issues.
c. Depending on, the nature and extent of the issue, ...the post-issue phase should involve a post-issue analysis and improvement plan.
