Crisis Management

We develop custom-made and generic-crisis management plans in cooperation with your team. These plans reflect your ability to withstand a crisis and come out on top in the event a crisis occurs.

Our work model centers on your identification of risks and vulnerabilities. From there, we collaborate to build a doable plan. The most critical risks are prioritized, and they determine which crisis plans take development priority. Then, we develop scenarios to the test these crisis plans to measure how effectively they work to protect the values defined as critical in your business plan.

Visual crisis plans create focus and awareness and serve as an acting space that cannot be reached in any other way than a well-structured and validated plan. It is a dynamic and realistic tool for all who find limitations in crisis manuals.

During the recent years the directives from top level management have evolved to a more result and capability oriented alignment of deployment for different crisis situations. This has increased the need for a visual aid that reaches the desired goals and effects that have to be achieved by many actors in cooperation. Our tool Visual Strategy Visto and our management process is a simple and well-defined process which supports a capability oriented alignment.

The output from the system is easily revised and the questions who, what, how and why gets answered in a clear and easy to understand description.

The Visual Strategy Visto software gives a graphical representation of the plan’s quality and answers the questions about who does what and what actions are required to be carried out. Therefore the resources are used in an optimal way in order to reach the defined effects.

Your team then works with the validated action plans as a base and revise the parts in which unfortunate events occur. This allows the response team to have the ability to quickly make tough decisions. This also enables advanced action planning with major time savings and a better assurance that the correct actions are carried out in a real situation.
