A crisis plan lays out the specific actions your team will take in response to a major disruption. Fixinc builds plans that are practical, role-aligned, and embedded in your organisation's real threats and escalation structures. It is more than a document; it is a tool to guide leadership, communications, and coordination when time is short and pressure is high.

Fixinc collaborates with organisations to build usable, tested, and role-specific crisis plans that connect with related disciplines and services:

- [Crisis Management Training](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/crisis-management-training.md): Build calm, confident leadership when everything feels out of control
- [Crisis Management Scenario Exercise](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/crisis-management-scenario-exercise.md): Pressure-tested planning in a safe, controlled environment
- [Digital Documentation Platforms](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/iso223012019-documented-information-review.md): Centralised storage and management of crisis documentation

Crisis Management Plans also integrate with:

- [Business Continuity](https://docs.fixinc.io/service/business-continuity.md): Operational recovery planning
- [Incident Management](https://docs.fixinc.io/service/Incident-Management.md): Structured response coordination
- [Emergency Response Plan Development](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/emergency-response-plan-development.md): Site-level emergency procedures

This integration ensures the entire programme operates as a system rather than isolated components.

## Delivery Approach

Crisis Management Plan development follows Fixinc's four-step methodology:

1. **Plan**: Agile, first-principles planning ensures a smooth rollout of your refreshed programme
2. **Do**: Crisis Management Plan is rolled out smoothly at your organisation
3. **Check**: Your Crisis Management Plan is validated through testing
4. **Act**: Your team and Fixinc will be ready when your Crisis Management Plan is activated in real-life situations

## Engagement Process

### Initial Consultation

A link will be sent via email from the Advisory team. You select a convenient time to chat over phone, Teams, Zoom, or in person. The initial call takes 30-45 minutes. This includes discussing your objectives, answering prepared questions, sharing how Fixinc operates, and addressing any questions you have.

### Proposal and Quote

A proposal is delivered within 24 hours detailing the scope of work. One week later, the proposal is discussed. Ten minutes after that discussion, a final quote is provided for signing. Proposals not signed within five weeks are considered not the right timing for the engagement.

### Delivery Phases

**Review and Health Check**

All Crisis Management Plan engagements start with a deep review of what is already in place. Benchmarks are set based on best practice and ISO standards.

**Design and Develop**

With appropriate involvement from your team, the Crisis Management Plan component of your Crisis Management programme is built to the highest quality available.

**Validate**

Where appropriate, the new Crisis Management Plan is tested and validated. This provides tangible evidence of capability and maturity to stakeholders.

**Maintain**

The primary setback for organisations embedding resilience is momentum. A plan is built to ensure Crisis Management Plan activities run annually.
