CRISIS AUDIT

ARE YOU READY FOR IT? REALLY PREPARED FOR IT?

Often, deficiencies in how companies manage a crisis only become clear once it has been hit by a storm and the share price takes a battering, customers defect and directors and board members are held to account in the media – both social and mainstream. By then, it’s too late and senior managers often pay for these failings with their jobs and their reputations.

So how can we at ‘CrisisManagement’ help?

The key questions for Chief Executives are:

If your company is hit by a crisis, how confident are you that it will be handled professionally? Will your systems and processes stand up to scrutiny from shareholders and other stakeholders?

When did you last check and how?

Do you know what to tell the board if something goes seriously wrong and the company takes a financial and reputational hit?

Do you know how complete and fit for purpose your company’s crisis preparedness and capability is?

How residual risks are managed in crisis plans, either generically or specifically
Overall adequacy of existing crisis management plans, training and teams
Crisis communications
Stakeholder engagement and management processes
Deeper dives into hazards to which the company is particularly exposed, due to its geographical reach and sector issues
CrisisManagement’s report and practical recommendations are delivered personally in a presentation to the client’s management and in written form
