Unexpected Situations (Crisis)

There is any number of internal and external situations that an organization encounters as it moves forward that may cause instability of the organization or endanger the smooth running of operations.  The organization’s response, in this case, is not as immediate as in emergency situations, but it can extend over days and months, and requires management responses that deal with a wide range of scenarios and crisis.

Resiliency in the face of the unknown: Proper adaptation measures can reduce the risks of damage caused by extreme events and disasters, today and in the future; regardless of the degree of uncertainty around the organization’s status.

The Challenge:

Proper estimation for “the expected” can save an organization a great deal of resources and reduce risk exposure in “unexpected” scenarios.  Our research show that most of an organization’s unexpected events are in fact, very likely and can be identified, diagnosed and corrected with advanced preparation.  No one event should be underestimated because one unexpected event can bring down an entire company, cause a complete system crash and also cause peripheral damage several degrees of magnitude larger than the direct damage (which is usually the one insured).  In addition, organizations are often characterized by administrative rigidity and thus lack the flexibility and ability to change and adapt their purpose or function in the face of various challenges.
