CRISIS
PLANNING
Crises happen from time to time. Crisis planning requires foresight, insight
and hindsight. Planning for crisis is
actually planning for something that has not yet occurred but might do, and
might have a serious impact on the business.
Crisis planning is important we'll be able to manage it much more
successfully if we’re prepared properly in advance!
Contingency planning is a key part of this
preparation. The need for contingency
planning emerges from a thorough analysis of the risks that might be
faced. The principles of risk assessment
process:
·
Address all business-critical operations
·
Identify risks
·
Prioritizing risks
Leadership is especially critical when organizations
have to adapt to difficult business environments. During difficult times, top-notch leadership
skills become even more important. Leaders
who can control costs and conserve cash is needed. However, leaders who see opportunity and who
will strive to seize that opportunity despite all the negativity is also very
much needed in times of difficulty. We need
leaders who remain committed to their people.
We also need leaders who can transfer their positive outlook to the
people around them.
Organizations often start out making good, ethical
decisions. The line separating right
from wrong can be easy to cross, particularly when people are under pressure to
achieve results. Unethical behaviour and
decision-making can become widespread.
There is a need to identify ethical weaknesses in your organization.
