COURSE OUTLINE

In the modern scenario, it is difficult to predict the future with pin-point accuracy. Viable organizations need to be ready for emergencies because they are a fact of doing business.

The worst plan is not to have any kind of plan at all, and the best plans are tested and adjusted so that they work over time. Great leaders are brilliant at managing crisis, and this is what this course intends to work on.

Fortunately, you do not need separate plans for fire, weather disasters, and all the different kinds of crises that can occur. One solid plan will help you to prevent, respond, and recover from all crises.

This intensive course will help you ensure your organization is ready to manage any kind of crisis.
