About VKK Schweizer Verband für Krisenkommunikation
When an organisation faces a crisis, the difference between reputational survival and damage often comes down to preparation and the right expertise. Based in Zuerich, Switzerland, the VKK Schweizer Verband für Krisenkommunikation is a specialised professional association dedicated entirely to the field of crisis communication. Founded in 2009, this non-profit organisation serves as a central hub for practitioners, academics, and institutions involved in managing high-stakes communication challenges. Unlike a generalist PR agency, the VKK focuses exclusively on the intersection of communication, risk management, and crisis preparedness, offering a structured framework for learning, networking, and standard-setting.
An Association Built on Standards and Certification
At the core of the VKK Schweizer Verband für Krisenkommunikation's mission is the establishment of quality benchmarks for crisis communication professionals. The association developed its own "Verbandscodex" – a set of fundamental quality and ethical criteria that define responsible crisis communication. Through its "Mitglieder Zertifizierung" program, the VKK ensures that its members adhere to these standards, fostering a high level of professionalism and accountability. This focus on certification and code compliance distinguishes the VKK from other industry groups, making it a trusted authority for organisations seeking verified expertise in crisis management and issues management. The association's work in defining "Krisenkommunikationsrichtlinien" (crisis communication guidelines) has made it a reference point in Switzerland for best practices in public sector and corporate crisis response.
Practical Training, Networking, and Knowledge Exchange
The VKK Schweizer Verband für Krisenkommunikation operates as a "Fachverband" (professional association) that bridges the gap between theory and practice. It offers a comprehensive range of "Weiterbildung" (continuing education) programs, including specialised "Krisenmanagement Weiterbildung" courses and "Krisenkommunikations-Training" workshops. These are delivered in close cooperation with partner universities and technical colleges, ensuring that training is both academically sound and practically relevant. The association also hosts "Fachreferate" (expert lectures) and facilitates "Workshops" that allow members to apply crisis communication strategies in simulated environments. A unique tool provided by the VKK is the "Crisis Map" – a resource likely designed to help members visualise and coordinate responses during actual incidents. Through these activities, the VKK supports continuous professional development in "Notfallmanagement" (emergency management), "Sicherheitsmanagement" (security management), and "Risikomanagement" (risk management), all within the context of public relations and communications.
Core Services and Specialties
While the VKK is an association rather than a consultancy, its services are tailored for professionals and organisations that take crisis preparedness seriously. Typical offerings and areas of expertise include:
- Certification and quality assurance programs ("Mitglieder Zertifizierung", "VKK Verbandscodex")
- Advanced training and workshops in crisis communication and crisis management
- Development of "Krisenmanual" (crisis manuals) and communication strategies
- Networking events and "Fachreferate" linking practitioners with researchers
- Consulting on "Krisenkommunikationsstrategie" (crisis communication strategy) and "Issues Management"
- Guidance on "Data Protection" and compliance within crisis scenarios

Companies in sectors with high exposure to operational risks – such as manufacturing, finance, healthcare, or logistics – will find the VKK's standardised training and certification programs valuable for building internal crisis readiness.
