Quick Survey on Crisis Management 'Level of Preparedness'

Thank you for your diligent phone calls, communications and email messages in regard to the 'Crisis Management' briefings despatched recently. We appreciate your excellent feedback. We have received an unprecedented and overwhelming response from you, which we have tried to incorporate into subsequent briefings. We are grateful to you, in many cases, for forwarding your organisations' research to complement ATCA RAW and the mi2g Intelligence Unit's live surveys, computer simulations, risk visualisations and mathematical models. Thank you, your commitment is outstanding.

Results of detailed research conducted in recent years demonstrate that the majority of groups and organisations that experience a severe crisis face failure within the next two years. We have a few questions to ask so that we may serve you and the global ATCA 5000, The Philanthropia 1000 and HQR communities better in the future.

A. Has your core group and organisation defined and communicated precisely what constitutes a crisis?

B. Is there a formal Crisis Management Team?

C. Can you identify the team leader? The key members?

D. Do you know what the team is expected to do in the event of a crisis?

E. Are there documented activation and assessment plans?

F. Has the team ever conducted a crisis simulation exercise?

G. Does the team have clearly identified lines of communication and command with interconnections to your lines of management?

H. Are you a member of the Crisis Management Team?

I. Which of the following types of crises fall within your core group's consideration:

. Reputation risk, brand value, stock and asset price volatility, and market rumour;
. Stakeholder relations: workforce-management, confrontation and investor relations;
. Accidents, calamities, large scale damage and natural disasters;
. Criminal acts and malevolence;
. Financial problems and organisational misdeeds;
. Market changes, competitive challenges, mergers and acquisitions;
. Geo-political developments and sovereign risk;
. Internal problems, workplace disturbance, violence and social unrest;
. Management problems including human breakdown, skewed values, deception and misconduct;
. Problems with product, process or production;
. Rules, regulators and rating agencies;
. Technological metamorphosis and technical breakdowns;
. Asymmetric threats, black swan(s), low probability high impact risks; and
. Collapse of trust and systemic risk.

J. Have you and your colleagues found the recent briefings to be of interest:

. What is The Role of Confidence in Crisis Management? 10 Key Questions For Leadership http://ow.ly/1fWns
. What is the Key to Survival in a Constantly Changing Environment? http://ow.ly/19uQE

. How Can Leadership Strengthen Crisis Management? Survival Guide For The 21st Century http://ow.ly/18am8
. What Undermines Global Leadership Suddenly? Real Crisis Management Lessons from Toyota http://ow.ly/17urd

K. Did you see any interconnections between the recent briefings?

L. What is missing in our presentation and analysis?

M. What can we do to improve the quality of our briefings?

N. Are there any experts within your organisation or personal network who would benefit from our briefings who you would like to recommend to the restricted list(s)?

O. Any further thoughts, observations and views?

We value your feedback. Thank you.

We welcome your thoughts, observations and views. To reflect further on this, please respond within Twitter, Linked and Facebook's ATCA Open and related Socratic dialogue platform of HQR.

All the best

      I have struggled to know what to add to this subject, it is one which always requires affirmative prayer. It is important to stay with the now. There is no evil paradigm to expect. The activity is to stay out of fear and to find mind capa...ble of this. Foul suspicion is always a mistake, and it is important to debunk the myth. Love and compassion is always accessible in any condition. Refuse accusals of nature which we might assume, they are always false, so we do not give them credence. Go back to the assumption that behind every action is love and care for something or someone. When we can find its basis in love, we can in all genuine honesty unravel false intent and find what might be mistaken to cause fear. There is never actually ruination, only betterment. Leave hearts open to change, for it always stems from desire.

      I am traveling now; I can give the issues more specific thought next week. I now understand where I can contribute! ;))

    • Yasmeen Baroness Von Schleinitz The easiest way is to start is preparing check lists with your questions and build up a project group who will be involved with this topic. Because in most companies the covering of staff is so poor that they even can't effort to do such projects as they don't even manage the daily business. Short term thinking and investor's interest to fire every year 10 % of the staff prevents such long term of thinking......

    • Richard Gerber The world is in a crisis so everyone should be involved in crisis management at some level. We should differentiate between local and non-local crisis. Some may not yet be having a local crisis and should recognize that non-local crisis may soon become a local crisis.

      Isis Worshiped as the ideal mother as well as the patron of nature and magic. She was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, the downtrodden, as well as listening to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats and rulers. Isis is the... Goddess of motherhood, magic and fertility.
      Isis is also known as the goddess of simplicity, protector of the dead and goddess of children from whom all beginnings arose.

      “Even a natural catastrophe can be made to be nothing more than an inconvenience!” as I said before we must become like the ants.

      DK, very good article. (L.) What is missing is "CRISIS PREVENTION" and perhaps this highlights the real issue.... Wisdom would have it that our focus, attention and resources be on crisis prevention. Why have crisiswhen it can be prevented? Even a natural catastrophe can be made to be nothing more than an inconvenience! Human engineering capability is remarkable. I have introduced into the dialog how this can be achieved for each of the sectors and the systems changes and development that would support it. Looking at the current situation, what is not being done and what is not changing, the content of the "mass" communications and the current focus of both the people and management we see a failure to apply the intelligence needed to address the deficiencies in the systems that will eventually lead to crisis. Perhaps even more crucial I see the lack of unity required to overcome the special interests.

      Crisis is the only thing that can restore this unity

      Greed and ignorance and the design, implementation, and management of the world’s financial systems have led to a crisis. Guess what that means!

      I am suggesting we have crisis prevention teams that double as crisis management teams in the event that they fail.

      A. Crisis is what happens when new reality meets an old world view.
      B. The crisis management team consists ideally of deep breathing, meditation, exercise and other constructive ways to handle the stress appearing in mind and body.
      C. Team ...leader= the observer of all experience. Key members = compassion for all involved and higher thinking
      D. During crises the team is expected to clarify which old definitions, beliefs and actions need to be released; also- to keep minds steady and emotions centered in the process.
      E. An ideal documented activation and assessment plan is a formal vow to always choose peace instead of panic and knee-jerk reactions.
      F. No need for simulation, crises abound when evolution is happening fast.
      G. Lines of communication need to be very clearly identified- all the hundreds of voices of the ego. The one line to prioritize is the clear communication from the higher self.
      H. The “I” is not only a member of the crisis management team, I is the creator and experiencer of all crises. Without the “I” there would be no fun at all :)

      DK, as usual you serve it up, really love the dialouge that has ensued.
      Richard G, you are right on it!!! It is all about the old clash of the Titans, for real and Isis on the side that is being destoyed over and over and vilified.
      All th...ose things you say are true, and it is TRUTH, that decends on the heart, the upper heart chakra of the THY+MUSE, the Columbia, Ain Soph, or Sophic wisdom of the brave hearted, true heart.
      Speaking truth, is key to this, healing and knowing who you truly are is extremely important.
      Not being the 'programmed' heartles sociopathic 'feeders' is important.
      Turn off the TV 'programming', be in silence and She will come and in spire you, to go a little 'in sane'.
      You gotta get in to get out.......

      Crisis Management

      Crisis management, the tool of choice,
      Talk of teams but give them no voice.
      Emphasize people, but work seven days.
      ... Layoffs and cut backs along with reduced pay.
      Push them harder, keep them in fear.
      Call it productivity and tell all who would hear.
      Lie and deceive to get what you need.
      Then discard them when they start to take heed.
      It's the symptoms we see in our every day life.
      It's the root cause of our terrible strife.
      But they know what's best for the masses of us.
      So stop complaining and making a fuss.
      Go along with the program, it matters not.
      It's too far gone; we're in a bad spot.
      Apathy, selfishness and greed pave the way.
      Yet, everyone asks why every day.

      Why do we continue to remind you? Because American citizens suffer from rapid amnesia. The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission report majority of six concluded that this crisis was avoidable—the result of human actions, inactions, and misju...dgments. Warnings were ignored. “The greatest tragedy would be to accept the refrain that no one could have seen this coming and thus nothing could have been done. If we accept this notion, it will happen again.”See More
