It's Not If, It's When You Have A Crisis...

What Happens If?
  • Your CEO dies in a plane crash
  • A tornado destroys a production facility
  • A trusted employee embezzles money
In today's business environment, every organization is vulnerable to crisis. The manner in which it is handled can have critical and permanent implications for your organization. 

Crisis - circumstances that threaten to harm people, property, interrupt business or damage an organization's reputation and/or bottom line.

  • A tarnished reputation as your organization will be perceived as inept and in some cases criminally negligent
  • The length of time it takes to respond with a resolution will be extended
  • Financial impact to your organizations bottom line could be more severe
  • Stakeholders will not know what is happening and may become confused and frustrated

There are 3 steps that your organization can take to develop a comprehensive readiness program.
