This intensive workshop is designed to strengthen senior executives’ capacity to deal strategically with a wide range of possible crises their organisations face. Drawing upon a world-wide, cross-sectoral research base covering natural disasters, industrial accidents, economic breakdowns, political scandals, escalated social conflicts, terrorist events and major policy fiascoes, the workshop encourages active learning through a combination of case study exercises, role-playing, peer feedback, and encounters with expert witnesses from both the public and private sectors.

Who should attend?
This workshop will be valuable to all senior executives in the public sector. Any SES-level manager who needs to play a leadership role during a crisis – no matter what form it takes - will find the workshop useful.
