Crisis Management
Oxberry Risk Strategies have a comprehensive understanding of crisis management procedures and principles. Our depth of knowledge firmly supports the two overarching principles that form the basis for any holistic crisis management plan:
- Anticipation - aims to identify likely events that may cause a crisis to emerge
- Resilience - aims to return an unstable situation back to normal, and as quickly as possible
Oxberry Risk Strategies acknowledges the notion that a crisis stems from an event that cannot be contained by organisational policies and procedures. Events happen every day in organisations and most are contained by sound policies and procedures but when they fail, the onset of a crisis or disaster forms from collapsed organisational systems.
Once the onset of a crisis occurs, then focused and robust crisis management plans must be swiftly activated to reduce exacerbating the situation further. Crisis management plans reflect many principles that include:
- Engaging in multiple stakeholders and decision makers
- Ensure that policy is adhered to
- Remain flexible and limit objectives
- Establish and maintain a good level of communication
- Ensure a sympathetic and considerate approach when dealing with personnel affected
Oxberry Risk Strategies deploy specialist crisis management co-ordinators who respond swiftly to the first onset of a crisis, and who will guide organisations through unstable situations until a successful outcome is reached. Alternatively, we can develop and test crisis management plans and offer training workshops to assist business and organisations create and implement these very important pre-emptive measures.
