A crisis plan is only effective when the people responsible for executing it understand its contents. This workshop service helps teams reconnect with their crisis management documentation, the organisation's threat landscape, and the specific roles they will perform when a crisis occurs.

## Workshop Delivery Approach

Fixinc delivers focused, highly interactive workshops that guide teams through key elements of your [Crisis Management Plan](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/crisis-management-plan.md), regardless of whether Fixinc developed the original documentation. Sessions break down command roles, escalation logic, and high-likelihood scenarios based on each organisation's unique threat landscape.

Workshops are designed to:

- Refresh knowledge of crisis procedures and protocols
- Build team buy-in and engagement with crisis response processes
- Re-energise organisational crisis culture and preparedness mindset

## Workshop Methodology

Fixinc facilitators avoid generic lecture-based training. Each session is tailored to the organisation's personnel, structure, and historical experiences. The approach connects documented plans to real-world operational pressures, challenges existing assumptions, and ensures participants leave feeling informed, aligned, and prepared rather than simply trained.

Workshop content adapts to:

- Organisational sector and operating environment
- Stakeholder requirements and expectations
- Risk profile and threat landscape
- Previous crisis experiences and lessons learned

## Delivery Process

### Step 1: Plan

Agile, first-principles planning ensures smooth rollout of the workshop programme.

### Step 2: Do

Workshop delivery is executed smoothly across the organisation with appropriate participant groups.

### Step 3: Check

Workshop outcomes are validated to ensure knowledge transfer and capability development objectives are achieved.

### Step 4: Act

Teams are prepared to activate crisis response procedures in real-world situations following workshop completion.

## Engagement Process

### Initial Consultation

A consultation link is sent via email from the Fixinc Advisory team. Organisations select a convenient time for discussion via phone, Teams, Zoom, or in-person meeting.

### Discovery Session (30-45 minutes)

Discussion covers organisational objectives and requirements. Fixinc shares delivery methodology and provides opportunity for questions and answers.

### Proposal and Quote

Proposal delivered within 24 hours detailing scope of work. Follow-up discussion scheduled one week later. Final quote provided for signature within 10 minutes of discussion completion.

### Decision Timeline

If not signed within five weeks, Fixinc assumes the timing is not suitable and closes the opportunity.

## Service Delivery Phases

### Review and Health Check

All Crisis Plan Familiarisation Workshops begin with a comprehensive review of existing crisis management documentation. Benchmarks are established based on best practice standards and ISO requirements.

### Design and Develop

With appropriate involvement from client teams, Fixinc develops the workshop content as part of the broader [Resilience Training](https://docs.fixinc.io/service/resilience-training.md) programme to the highest quality standards.

### Validate

Where appropriate, workshop outcomes are tested and validated. This provides tangible evidence of capability and maturity to stakeholders.

### Maintain

A plan is developed to ensure Crisis Plan Familiarisation Workshops are conducted annually, maintaining programme momentum and knowledge retention.
