High-performing, successful organizations anticipate problems of all sorts, such as major equipment failures, serious legal trouble, lost intellectual property, a damaged reputation, or an outbreak of illness in the workplace. Conducting a crisis audit to determine vulnerabilities to all functions within the organization is a fundamental task.

In this online session with Nellie Brown, director of Workplace Health and Safety Programs at Cornell University’s ILR School, we will delve into 11 families of crises in order to stretch our imaginations and consider a variety of areas of potential risk. We’ll then discuss how to prioritize where to focus your management/recovery planning efforts.
