Crisis and Resilience

A crisis can be a result of issues or incidents that may be ignored or unforeseen events with a potential to harm the business objectives.

Organisations need to approach disasters and plan for them in a manner that incorporates resilience against any natural calamity like earthquakes, cyclones, floods and more. Each organisation will have their own unique challenges, implementing a structure and framework in place will protect their physical and cyber assets and support a speedy recovery to business as usual.

As the COVID-19 pandemic radically disrupted work environments, the first priority has been crisis response: emphasizing health and safety, essential services, and the virtualization of work and education.

You know it’s coming. But not when, where, or how big. You’ll sleep a lot better if you’re confident that your crisis management plan works.

Many organizations devote substantial time and resources to risk management. But there’s a place where the predictable gives way to the unpredictable—and a risk, or combination of risks, turn into a crisis.

It is a fact: the more resources you rely on, the more risk you are exposed to.

In times of crisis, businesses are forced to innovate, seek solutions, and find a path that will help them bounce back. Being resilient is not just the ability to move beyond responding and recovering but instead finding new directions that will help you grow and evolve.

A command center can help an organization rebuild, restore, and recover – which can do even more than keep the lights on and get operations going again. A command center can become a powerful catalyst for overdue changes and build an organization’s long-term ability to respond and recover from future crises.
