It's our philosophy. 'Plan for the worst and pray for the best.' And it has served ARMSTRONG and Associates well since their inception. We use this same approach when working with their clients.
We simply don't panic. We have served with some of the nation's largest businesses: the Tennessee Valley Authority, Martin Marietta, Lockheed Martin and the US Army Corps of Engineers.

- We understand and can translate highly complex language into understandable laymen's English.
- We can help you forecast and prepare you for most crisis and issues that you will face on your project.
- We know what you will face with the media onslaught and the public demands and they can help you prepare for the worst case scenarios.
Trained in crisis management by the Institute of Crisis Management, the Department of Energy, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the US Army Corps of Engineers, Dr. Armstrong builds on his experiences and helps you learn from his successes and his mistakes.

We conduct informal fact-finding interviews with key community leaders to identify issues and community values that are important to your project's success.
We facilitate communication, dialogue, and interaction among diverse community stakeholders always with the aim of discovering what must be done to new you forward and to prevent and resolve problems before they develop.
We help you enhance your organization’s credibility by using focus groups and advisory groups to provide decision makers a way to interact with their constituents and to promote mutual education and communication.
We develop and coordinate conflict resolution strategies and tactics between our clients and the public or private sector representatives in situations where opposing viewpoints are addressed — including political forums, school board meetings, union meetings, and special interest group interactions.
And, yes we can be available to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, if you wish.
