Crisis Management Planning
Our Approach
We tailor engagements according to the needs of the client – our ’standard’ approach is broadly as follows:
- Pre-meeting to discuss Crisis Management Plan (CMP) or lack of it, organizational culture, appetite for risk, Review of Risk Register, regulatory requirements, composition of the CM Structure, recent experiences, gaps in Knowledge, Training & Understanding among others. All this essential information enables us to develop a Gap Analysis.
- We then design a Workshop and exercise to address those Gaps, usually in 4 x Parts:
- Part 1 – Intro to Crisis Management supported by Case Studies
- Part 2 – Crisis Management Principles and Approaches
- Part 3 – Crisis Management Best Practice & Structures
- Part 4 – Crisis Management Table-top Exercise in a number of Phases (crawl-walk-run). Note that a previous review of the Risk Register helps in crafting the scenarios for the exercise. The level of ‘intensity’ of the exercise depends on the level of preparedness / Crisis Management experience of the client
- Finally, we write a Crisis Management Plan that is bespoke to the actual needs of the organization, and make recommendations for future resilience work, e.g.: more training / exercises, audit an existing or write a new Business Continuity Plan (as appropriate), develop a Contingency Plan(s) to cover off particularly high / egregious threats among others
