Strategic Crisis Management – Executive Training
By definition crisis management is a process by which an organization deals with a disruptive and unexpected event that threatens to harm the organization, its stakeholders, or the public.
Yet mostly crisis management of corporations is limited to communication and poorly coordinated activism.
How Strategic Crisis Management helps you manage a sudden and significant negative event
When a crisis hits, a capable cross-functional team should be in place to construct a detailed scenario of the main threat(s), with a breakdown of possible solutions and outcomes; allowing the organization to estimate the impact and consequences of potential paths the crisis may travel.
This helps the organization in making major decisions quickly based on facts with long-term positive ripples, rather than merely reacting on current developments with short-term impulses.
- Control the organization – activate a small, cross-functional team, led by a C-suite member, to control planning, investigation, governance and communication
- Stabilize stakeholders – identify concerns and threads stakeholder by stakeholder and address them immediately to reduce anger and extreme reactions
- Resolve operational challenges – use structured problem-solving frameworks and empower teams of specialists to work on solutions
- Ensure business continuity – take measures to allow operations to continue and mitigate short- and long-term risks
