Training Course: Crisis & Emergency Management for the Energy Sector
The first few hours of a crisis are crucial to the organisation's ability to recover successfully. Lack of preparedness may compromise an organisation's ability to recover from an incident and irreparably damage the business. Don't let an emergency manage your company, but learn how to design a strategy and build the team that can successfully manage the crisis. In this practical pragmatic workshop, Andrew Hiles and Ian Pidgen of Kingswell International will review the latest standards in the field and demonstrate new and innovative techniques. Delegates will have the opportunity to develop expertise through hands-on exercises using techniques and procedures to apply their new skills in an industry relevant environment and will receive a FREE Crisis Management(TM) CD, containing templates, models, checklists and formats you can use immediately in order to improve their incident, emergency, business continuity and crisis planning.
