Every organization has vulnerabilities and risks that can threaten their existence. Preparing for the most likely and worst-case scenarios is the difference between chaotic or disciplined response. There are no silver bullets, but there are ways to plan and prepare that work.
Crisis Planning, Exercises & Response
Over the years I have counseled clients preparing for or experiencing crisis situations. The industries included:
- Aerospace and Defense
- Food Processing
- Chemical Manufacturing
- Military and government organizations
- Non-profits
My approach is to
- Review or perform a vulnerability and risk assessment for your organization
- Review current plans
- Provide feedback on existing plans
- Work with leadership to revise or build a plan
- Conduct simulation to pressure test the plan
- Collaborate with the organization to revise the plan based on simulation
- Schedule regular updates and exercises
