# Crisis Management Team Development > Structured approach to defining roles, assigning responsibilities, building contact pathways, and aligning teams with crisis management plans to ensure effective response during incidents. *This content is available in full at: https://www.fixinc.io/disciplines/crisis-management-team-development* In a crisis, structure matters. Team Development ensures the right people know their role and how to execute it effectively. Crisis Management Team Development maps out who does what in a real-world incident. Fixinc helps organisations define roles, assign responsibilities, build contact pathways, and align teams with crisis plans. This includes integrating [Incident Management](https://docs.fixinc.io/service/incident-management.md), [Executive Communication](https://docs.fixinc.io/service/executive-resilience-training.md), and [Recovery Coordination](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/response-and-recovery-strategy-alignment.md) teams into a cohesive response model that works across business units and functions. Crisis teams are built around how organisations actually work, not just how they appear on paper. Fixinc supports through organisational structure mapping, leadership alignment, and role-specific briefings. Connection points to [Crisis Management Training](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/crisis-management-training.md) and [Scenario Exercises](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/crisis-management-scenario-exercise.md) help embed the structure into daily operations and make response second nature. ## Delivery Methodology Fixinc delivers Crisis Management Team Development through a four-step approach: 1. **Plan**: Agile, first-principles planning ensures a smooth rollout of refreshed programmes 2. **Do**: Smooth rollout of Crisis Management Team Development across the organisation 3. **Check**: Validation of draft Crisis Management Team Development through testing and review 4. **Act**: Preparation for real-life activation of Crisis Management Team Development ## Engagement Process ### Initial Consultation - A link will be sent via email from the Advisory team to schedule a call at a convenient time via phone, Teams, Zoom, or in person - 30-45 minute discussion to understand objectives, share methodology, and address questions - Proposal and quote delivered within 24 hours detailing scope of work - Final quote provided for signing following a one-week discussion period - Proposals not signed within five weeks are assumed to be not the right time ### Delivery Phases **Review and Health Check**: All Crisis Management Team Development implementations start with a deep review of existing arrangements.
