COMMITMENT

A fully committed leadership team generates the focus and drive to become Crisis Proof.  

True commitment means that crisis preparedness is an enduring priority, supported with leadership engagement, time, money and other resources.

CULTURE

A crisis proof culture reduces the likelihood of crises and increases the ability to manage them well.

 Embedding a Crisis Proof culture within an organisation enables it to identify, prevent, avert and respond effectively to crisis.

FORESIGHT

Foresight enables organisations to anticipate, prevent and reduce risks and stay ahead of emerging crises.  

To be crisis proof, the organisation must understand its vulnerabilities, and take steps to prevent, reduce the likelihood or mitigate the impact of key risks.

FOUNDATIONS

Robust foundations provide the critical resources to underpin a successful crisis response. 

Crisis proof organisations have a suite of crisis management plans, processes and resources in place to guide an effective crisis response.

SKILLS

A skilled team enables organisations to exert positive influence on a crisis quickly, purposefully and proficiently.

To be crisis proof, crisis management team members should understand the critical elements of crisis management and have the necessary skills to deploy their plan and fulfil their role on a crisis management team.

CONFIDENCE

Rehearsal transforms knowledge into the confidence to succeed in a crisis.

In a crisis proof organisation, crisis management team members have the personal resilience and mental muscle memory to respond effectively to a crisis under severe pressure.
