Course Overview

Crisis Management and Contingency Planning are key elements of effective management principles. Rigorous testing and training go a long way towards ensuring the readiness of your organisation to handle emergencies. Risks are a huge part of life, and especially in businesses, foreseeing risks and being able to tackle them efficiently could prevent fatal, economical and brand-image related losses.

This program equips you with applicable insights and practical skills for navigating critical moments before, during, and after a crisis strikes. You will go through a hands-on learning journey, grounded in disruption response theory and psychology.

This course also guides participants to identify the probable risks or situations that may hasten a crisis or emergency and learn various techniques to deal with such incidents. You will also understand how to communicate effectively in turbulent times, better understand and address your own cognitive biases, restore trust with key stakeholders, draw meaningful conclusions from previous disruptive events, and prepare for potential future setbacks.

What is the importance of this “Crisis Management and Contingency Plan Training Course”? Emergency response scenarios can range from planning evacuation from a school affected by an earthquake to a telecommunications tower suffering a massive power outage, to the threat of an ex-employee leaking sensitive information.
