BCM Specialist Book Series: A Manager’s Guide to Implementing Your Crisis Management Plan

Several books on crisis management are available on Amazon, and some are worth purchasing.  As part of the training for budding or experienced crisis management professionals, the institute strongly felt that its training course needs to be reinforced with a text that can be read after attendance of the crisis management course.

This book must provide an overview of how the crisis management (CM) framework is implemented and relates to business continuity management (BCM), as CM is often seen as a stand-alone function. 

The knowledge of categorizing, analyzing, and assessing the different types of crises and identifying, prioritizing, and implementing crisis strategies is imperative for the success and sustenance of the CM program. Lastly, readers will be taught how crisis management teams are established and how alternative responses and procedures are implemented during a crisis.

A Manager’s Guide to Implementing Your Crisis Management Plan

The philosophy behind crisis management is to provide a consistent mechanism to deal with crises and disasters, allowing Executive Management to increase their response to meet events of differing severity. 

Organizations may be affected at any time by crises that threaten the safety of staff, the viability and security of assets, the continuity of their business operations, and, critically, confidence in their reputation.

These “crisis types” may be confined to a minor incident but could also escalate quickly to affect significant segments of the entire organization.  This book is written for those new to Crisis Management (CM) and as a reference for practitioners assigned to initiate the CM planning (CMP) project in their organization.
