Crisis management from the ground up – taught by experienced crisis leaders, not by a tool.
A crisis is not overcome with a tool, but with the expertise of experienced crisis leaders. A tool may at most provide support – the process must not follow the logic of a tool. In practice, we have repeatedly seen tool-driven processes hinder crisis response.
Situation assessment, judgement and leadership take centre stage – software is subordinate to the process, not the other way round.
We teach what has proven itself in more than 465 completed crisis projects since 1984.
A well-structured day combining theory, practice and exercises – meticulously prepared and professionally led.
The bootcamp is designed for executives and managers of small and medium-sized enterprises who want to learn professional crisis management from the ground up – no prior knowledge required, but with the ambition to be able to act when it really matters.
Proposed programme with indicative times, 09:00 – 18:00 – you will receive the detailed agenda with your registration confirmation.
Arrival, coffee, first conversations.
What defines a crisis, how to recognise it early and how to build a reliable situational picture.
Roles, responsibilities, alerting and the command rhythm of an effective crisis management team.
Assessing options, deciding, assigning tasks and documenting – even when information is incomplete.
Catering included – time for exchange with like-minded peers.
Internal and external: key messages, the spokesperson role, media and stakeholders.
How artificial intelligence can provide support today: preparing the situational picture, condensing information, running through scenarios, drafting communications. The principle remains: crisis leaders lead and decide – AI and tools merely support.
What it includes: alerting, crisis management team organisation and roles, checklists, situational picture and communication templates, contact lists, decision log and exercise concept.
A realistic scenario in which you apply what you have learned as a team.
Debriefing, lessons learned and concrete next steps for your organisation.
Included in the price: a toolbox tailored to the needs of the participants.
Included in the price: a toolbox for a professional crisis toolkit – tailored to the needs of the participants.
Lunch and refreshments throughout the day are included in the price.
Methods drawn from the practice of experienced crisis leaders – directly transferable to your organisation.
“When it really matters, it is not the software that decides, but the experience of the people who lead.”
