A serious crisis can put a company out of business. Yet many organisations continue to treat crisis management as a tactical tool to be used only when things get truly rough.

As expectations about good corporate behaviour increase, bad actors looking to break into your IT system abound, and as the internet and social media enable detractors to share their views and experiences far and wide, crisis management must be a strategic imperative for every organisation.

This practical, interactive workshop shows you how to reduce the likelihood of a crisis happening, and how to be properly prepared should a crisis occur.
