Crisis Management

In today's fast moving and often uncertain business environment, companies are increasingly vulnerable to attacks from many different areas, most of which have the potential to culminate in an expensive incident.

Typical risks for international business today include:

• A senior executive has been kidnapped
• An employee has been 'set-up' for a bribe
• A joint venture partner has been exposed as a money launderer
• An employee has illegally gained access to business confidential documents and is looking to offload them

Unsuccessful protection of employees during an emergency can result in:

• Death
• Irreparable damage to reputation
• Cessation of production
• Expensive litigation

Unsuccessful management of a crisis can result in:

• Financial ruin
• Loss of earnings
• Irreparable damage to reputation
• Expensive litigation

However, most companies remain unprepared to manage a crisis.
