Disorderly protests. Hostage situations. Extreme weather. Violence on campus. It's impossible to control whether a crisis will happen at your institution. However, you can control the way you react to it and learn to handle it in a way that will protect your people and your institution or nation's reputation.

​

Our Crisis Leadership program will help you respond to crises effectively, develop protocols and practices that minimize the potential for future occurrences and inspire confidence in the long-term success of your institution, region or nation.

Strategies for a Crisis/Disaster

• The tools needed to diagnose and understand the event

• Frameworks to help recognize critical distinctions between different types of crises

• The ability to foster situational awareness and ensure appropriate accountability during and after crisis events

• The skills to understand and manage both policy and operational concerns
