Become the leader your organisation needs in a crisis:

Understand and leverage the ‘human factor’ in a crisis
Avoid becoming overwhelmed by fear, data overload and clashing personalities
Lead on a crisis management strategy
Communicate effectively to stakeholders under pressure
Learn and rebuild after a crisis.

Be better equipped to manage a crisis
Gain a deeper collective insight into the importance of the ‘human factor’ in a crisis
Be able to reduce the burden decision makers face in a crisis and the risk of skewed decisions
Be able to develop mitigation strategies based on a deeper understanding of research into recurring patterns of human behaviour that characterise reaction to crises
Be prepared to respond decisively when your reputation is damaged and start rebuilding trust fast
Be able to communicate effectively and appropriately to multiple stakeholders.
