[CM] [CMS] Implement Crisis Preventive Measures

Crisis Preventive Measures

The aspects the crisis prevention measures address are:

Strategic level
Technical and structural
Evaluation and diagnostic
Communication
Psychological and cultural

Strategic level

This involves a shift in the prevailing corporate philosophy.

Organisations must not consider implementing CM as a cost but rather a strategic necessity to ensure the reliability of their services, products, and production systems.

The key is to provide strategic advantages to their competitors.

Technical and Structural Level

This set of activities involves creating a CM team comprising specialists, managers, and executives from different business units and functional areas.

Evaluation and Diagnostic Level

The effort includes evaluative and diagnostic tools and processes, such as a legal and financial audit of threats and liabilities.

This also includes a “dashboard” that monitors impending threats 24/7.

Communication Level

This group is concerned with how organisations manage their communications and what information is exchanged between themselves and their stakeholders.

Psychological and Cultural Level

This last set of crisis prevention efforts is the most subjective and often the most difficult to implement because it deals with highly emotional issues such as fear, uncertainty and anxiety.
