Course Description

Crisis Management is the process by which an organization deals with major unpredictable events that threatens to harm the organization, its stakeholders, or the general public. Three elements are common to most definitions of crisis: (a) a threat to the organization, (2) the element of surprise, and (3) a short decision time. Many business owners and managers feel that crisis types are limited to natural disasters not realizing that there six other categories of crisis that can affect their organization.

On the other hand, emergency response situations are fast moving, often dangerous and can be chaotic. The range of potential incidents and emergencies which could affect, disrupt, or stress production are increasing.  If managed correctly then not all these incidents will be critical or could be classed as a crisis, but those which result in significant losses, or put increased demand on the organisation will have serious consequences for the company, the company’s stakeholders, the country and the reputation of all those involved in the response. This course will teach you that meeting the commitment involves more than just being fully prepared.
