Building Effective Crisis Plans

Avoid, anticipate and pre-empt mistakes during a crisis
This intensive short course covers the strategic concepts and thinking required to develop effective crisis communication plans. Learn to identify and reduce crisis-causing risks and exposures; crisis plan components most plans miss but must have; and how to avoid, anticipate, and pre-empt the mistakes and errors that cause response failure. Learn how to involve key people in the planning process to build the crucial management and employee buy-in necessary for ongoing readiness. The public’s increasing expectation of accountable ethical and moral behavior by leadership during crisis response will also be discussed.

Effective crisis plans:
• Incorporate sensible, sound thinking and strategy.
• Get the first few minutes/few hours of a crisis right.
• Manage media coverage, public concerns and victims from the start.
• Involve management meaningfully in planning, response and readiness.
• Accommodate the foreseeable patterns of mistakes, problems and distractions.
