INTRODUCTION

Crisis Management Team (CMT) and Emergency Response Team (ERT) Leaders need access to the right information, at the right time, and at the right level of detail, to make the right decisions. The value of good crisis leadership has been proven over past years. It is accepted that the increasing range of potential incidents and emergencies which could affect business, disrupt production and affect global reputation are becoming increasingly complicated.

It is important to understand that situational awareness in crisis situations — being aware of one’s surroundings and identifying potential threats and dangerous situations — is more of a mindset than a hard skill.

TRAINING SUMMARY

This program equips you with applicable insights and practical skills for navigating critical moments – before, during and after a crisis strikes. You will go through a hands-on learning journey, grounded in disruption response theory and psychology. You will learn how to better understand and address your own cognitive biases, communicate effectively in turbulent times, restore trust with key stakeholders, draw meaningful conclusions from previous disruptive events, and prepare for potential future setbacks.

Crisis management planning fulfills a vital role in risk management – and, more specifically, the business continuity process – by establishing and documenting the framework within which the organization makes decisions on how to respond to an incident that impacts (or has the potential to significantly impact) the organization.

While the initial development of the crisis management plan can be seen as a single effort, crisis management planning should be viewed as a recurring effort to ensure that the individuals involved, the strategies selected, and the process to implement the strategies align to and support the organization’s priorities and risk tolerance.

Throughout the program, you will analyze crises of various origins and industries, and will prepare your own Crisis Response plan to help your organization cope in times of uncertainty and bounce back stronger in a post-crisis next normal.
