Crisis Management Training

In order to be most effective, companies should invest the time and resources to ensure that management is prepared to face the range of risks it may face as an organization or as an individual project. The value in training managers can be expressed as follows:

§  Allows managers to be self‐sufficient and structure and develop their own plans.

§  Supports managers in identifying risks prior to an emergency occurring, enabling better risk mitigation measures.

§  Enables an effective response to crisis situations—bringing control and understanding more quickly to an event.

§  Allows local managers to understand how best to leverage organic and external resources and capabilities.

§  Provides validation of plans and policies (i.e., helps to sustain such plans over the course of the project's life span).

§  Provides confidence, familiarity, and buy‐in from users and stakeholders.

§  Demonstrates duty of care and corporate governance and responsibility.

§  Improves interagency cooperation and relationships.

§  Supports better business practices (i.e., makes for more productive and profitable pursuits).

§  Gains greater buy‐in from users and stakeholders.

§  Engenders a collaborative approach and positive contributions to mitigating risks and dealing with crisis events.
