Crisis Management

Globally, organizations are being disrupted by more frequent natural disasters as well as manmade disasters including, but not limited to cyberattacks, the threats of the Internet of Things, and with the introduction of disruptive technologies such as blockchain. Every leader is faced with the need to prepare ahead of time as the threat landscape grows and escalates in intensity and frequency.

Leaders must be prepared and a crisis management plan must be in place before an incident impacts the organization’s people and strategic objectives. It is crucial to any organization’s ability to bounce back to ensure a constant state of readiness. Leaders must be trained and practice crisis management decision making through simulations since the exact nature of a crisis is not truly known in advance. Resilient organizations understand it has become a question of “when” – not “if” it will face a crisis. Having a crisis management plan in place oftentimes keeps a crisis from developing into a disaster. A crisis communications plan is crucial to protecting your organization’s people, sending just in time messaging to key stakeholders and protecting its brand reputation.
