Crisis Response

A crisis management workshop is a useful way to kick off the process of strengthening your preparedness. Guardian will talk about best practices in crisis management. We will discuss potential crisis scenarios that could impact your organisation and walk through a fictional crisis together to test your existing crisis management procedures. With a hot debrief, you will receive learning points by best practices. This serves as a brilliant starting point for revising your crisis management plan.

Crisis Management Exercise

A crisis management exercise is critical for minimising the impact of the crisis and ensuring business continuity. Guardian will design an exercise that will stress and test your ability to handle crises effectively. The training can be provided as tabletop training or as a full-scale, realistic crisis simulation with Guardian role players. The exercise serves as an efficient way to identify possible gaps in the crisis management team and existing procedures.

Crisis Management Workshop

Guardian provides rapid response and assistance in crisis management and offers prompt reactions, expertise, and access to additional resources when individuals and organisations face crises. We are very experienced in dealing with kidnapping cases, threats, and any other crisis for organisations. We understand the level of stress you are experiencing, and we support and guide you through the process of dealing with the crisis (learn more: Travel Safety 5: Crisis Management)

Crisis Management Training

Crisis management training is the most efficient way to prepare for a crisis. Through a tailored scenario based on the organisations own crisis management policies, we test the crisis management team’s ability to handle a crisis.

Turning Point

Turning Point is a crisis management board game, developed by Guardian in 2020. The narrative-based game takes you through the journey of managing a fast-moving situation which threatens your organisation.

Working together with your team, you will make strategic decisions to protect your company’s reputation and finances. With Turning Point, we have drawn on Guardian’s many years of experience in crisis handling to offer you an innovative and interactive way of familiarising your team with the principles of crisis management. By promoting crisis management knowledge amongst your team via this fun and engaging format, you will build resilience in your organisation and prime your employees for quicker and more empowered action if a crisis does strike. Our facilitator will ensure that you can take the learning home to improve your crisis management setup.

Crisis Management Policy

A Crisis Management Policy describes and outlines the organisation’s general attitude towards crises, including how you want to prevent, respond to, and recover from them. The policy will clarify the responsibilities of both the management and the employees by specifying standard operating procedures (SOPs) in case of an emergency or a crisis. If the company already has a Crisis Management Policy, Guardian can review, improve, or update it.

Review and Evaluation

In the event of a security incident or crisis, Guardian- can undertake an after-action review of the plans and procedures to update them with valuable new information and lessons learned while also providing you with a thorough evaluation of how you handled the crisis. We can also support you with strategic and operational assistance during any crisis and perform a thorough evaluation of your handling of the crisis.
