Crisis Management: How to prepare for and cope with business crises

Everyone understands that crises happen and normally they arrive out of a clear blue sky. Usually they are unforeseen, sudden and almost always need swift reaction. In contingency planning it makes great sense to remember Murphy’s Law; anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. So we should do everything in our power to mentally and physically prepare ourselves for the unexpected.

It is vital that you get a hold on what is happening fast then take whatever actions are necessary to mitigate potential disaster. The way you behave in a crisis is hugely influential. Signs of fear, indecision and uncertainty are like contagious diseases and they will spread quickly throughout an organisation. In contrast, courage, decisiveness and determination can keep matters under control and in proportion.

Silence in crisis is not golden – it can be very destructive. Using his extensive experience and real-life scenarios, both from the military and business, Colonel Bob Stewart will demonstrate how to communicate effectively and act quickly. In this hands-on masterclass, Bob will demonstrate how you can effectively prepare for and deal with any crises.

You will:

• Discover how to lead in a crisis
• Find out how to prepare and plan for the unexpected
• Learn the secrets to effective crisis communication
