Crisis Management Exercises

During a crisis, ordinary operations are suspended, and it is up to the crisis management team to guide the organization. Adequate preparation and training are a key to being able to act with urgency and reason. An important part of this is that all members of the team must understand and be comfortable with assigned roles and plans. This can be achieved during training sessions in which real-life scenarios are put forward.
