How we work on it
Preparation, simulation and command through the worst week. The determining factor in how a crisis resolves is almost never the quality of the statement. It is whether the decision structure existed before the phone rang.
Scenario library, holding statements, escalation tree and spokesperson set.
Live drills with the board and executive team under time pressure.
Twenty four hour command, monitoring, stakeholder sequencing and statements.
Standing rebuild programme, evidence of change and long term measurement.
Frequently asked
