Centralised leadership for your response
The crisis response team is the engine that brings your organisation’s crisis strategy to life. The team serves as the primary decision-making body, manages all facets of your crisis response, and coordinates the effort across your organisation.
70% of organisations had a designated core response team in place prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mobilising your core response team
During a crisis, how swiftly and effectively an organisation is able to mobilise operations depends upon planning and preparation.
Likewise, the ability to synthesise learnings to strategise for future disruptions depends upon execution of a thorough, clear plan, initiated and led by a centralised crisis response team.
Your core team:
Organises and tracks response and remediation activities
Establishes clear ownership and accountability
Aligns all tactics, processes and decisions with the organisation’s strategic objectives
