- Early identification of issues is invaluable.
- It is better to be prepared to manage issues than learn the hard way. That you’re not prepared at all.
- Don’t wait till it’s too late to find out you weren’t prepared.
Issues Management
During an incident or crisis is not the best time to find out that you are not prepared to manage it. The best time to manage an incident is before it has even happened through crisis prevention and management.
Conducting risk audits and undertaking monitoring activities are extremely useful in identifying potential problems before they occur. Failing this, it is important to at least have a crisis management plan in place.
As you prepare a crisis management plan, your nominated crisis team will undertake a simulation exercise. This exercise will ensure your team has completed organised crisis training, giving each member know-how in using the plan and an understanding of the tasks they will be expected to complete.
If your organisation has had a review or audit of its crisis preparedness then you should have a good understanding of your current situation and what you need to do to be prepared.
If not, maybe history will tell the tale. Socom can assist you to prepare for the worst, but help to ensure the best.
