Recent events highlight the dynamic and wide ranging security crises that businesses face, including active assailant, workplace violence / assault and large scale emergency evacuations or less tangible, but equally damaging events such as data leaks and cyber outages. These crises can cause serious disruption, financial loss, adverse publicity and potential legal liability, that can impact a business’s ability to trade.
In this session, we will run through a case study of handling a crisis as it unfolds. Our highly experienced team of consultants will talk through how they work with senior stakeholders in boardrooms to manage a crisis. We will outline the importance of providing businesses with pragmatic, actionable advice and support to aid their decision-making and resource allocation, even in the heat of the moment, and how to bring incidents and crises to a successful close.
Whether it be avoiding injury and harm to people or assets, obtaining the release of detained staff, executing local or country-level evacuations, halting the leak of personal data or intellectual property, or navigating the media to avoid reputational damage, we are on hand 24/7/365 – either remotely or in person – to provide time critical information, intelligence updates, strategic and tactical advice, and third-party liaison.
By the end of the session, you will be able to:
- Explain what to do in the event of a crisis.
- Identify different skill sets and team members needed to handle a crisis.
- Know what proactive steps businesses can take to minimise business interruption as a result of a crisis.
