This intensive, comprehensive crisis management course focuses on managing sudden crises, and techniques for preventing smoldering internal business issues from going “public” or minimizing the damage to the organization’s ongoing business when public disclosure cannot be avoided. Enrollment is limited to provide ample opportunity for group discussion and individual participation in presentations, discussions and hands-on exercises.

Course Objectives

  • Identify business crises and prepare for them
  • Evaluate organization’s vulnerabilities and crisis potential
  • Anticipate issues that may escalate into a crisis
  • Gain critical support from senior management
  • Quantify financial impact of a potential crisis

Data from the unique ICM Crisis Database are used to pinpoint current trends in crisis situations that are stimulating the most media attention for the business community.
