This discipline covers the core elements of what a crisis plan needs to include, who is responsible for what, and how different scenarios should be managed. The session unpacks key planning principles, threat alignment, communications, and activation triggers, all customised to industry and organisational structure. Fixinc does not deliver boilerplate frameworks. Every preparedness session is tailored to the actual risk landscape, culture, and regulatory context. Whether organisations are just getting started or refining an existing structure, the approach brings clear guidance and practical tools to make crisis planning less overwhelming and more effective. ## Delivery Methodology The discipline follows a four-step Plan-Do-Check-Act methodology: 1. **Plan**: Agile, first-principles planning ensures a smooth rollout of the refreshed programme 2. **Do**: Crisis Preparedness Planning is rolled out smoothly at the organisation 3. **Check**: Crisis Preparedness Planning remains draft until validated through testing 4. **Act**: Teams are prepared when Crisis Preparedness Planning activates in real-life situations ## Engagement Process ### Initial Consultation A link is sent via email from the Advisory team. Clients select a convenient time to chat over phone, Teams, Zoom, or in person. The 30-45 minute consultation covers organisational objectives. Fixinc shares their approach and provides opportunity for questions and answers. ### 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 discussion, a final quote is provided for signing. If proposals are not signed within five weeks, Fixinc assumes the timing is not suitable. ### Delivery Phases **Review and Health Check**: All Crisis Preparedness Planning implementations start with a deep review of existing arrangements. Benchmarks are set based on best practice and ISO standards. **Design and Develop**: With appropriate involvement from the client team, the Crisis Preparedness Planning component is built to the highest quality available. **Validate**: Where appropriate, new Crisis Preparedness Planning discipline is tested and validated. This provides tangible evidence of capability and maturity to stakeholders. **Maintain**: A plan is built to ensure Crisis Preparedness Planning runs annually, addressing momentum as the primary setback for organisations embedding resilience. ## Related Executive Training Disciplines The following disciplines complement Crisis Preparedness Planning as part of the Executive Resilience Training programme: - [Foundations of Crisis Management](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/foundations-of-crisis-management.md): Understanding what crisis management is and how it works using modern, usable models - [Evaluating Crisis Impacts](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/evaluating-crisis-impacts.md): Teaching leaders how to evaluate impact across operations, people, and reputation - [Crisis Communication Strategies](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/crisis-communication-strategies.md): Communicating with clarity, empathy, and authority when pressure is highest - [High-Impact Boardroom Exercise](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/highimpact-boardroom-exercise.md): Immersive scenario designed to sharpen decision-making and executive presence - [Navigating Crisis Survival](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/navigating-crisis-survival.md): Helping executives stabilise, adapt, and lead the organisation into recovery - [The Human Side of a Crisis](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/the-human-side-of-a-crisis.md): Understanding stress, emotion, and behaviour under pressure - [Decision Making Under Pressure](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/decision-making-under-pressure.md): Training leaders to cut through noise and make decisions when stakes are real - [Leadership in a Crisis](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/leadership-in-a-crisis.md): Sharpening leadership skills when control, clarity, and confidence matter most - [High Performance Training](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/high-performance-training.md): Training executives to lead with clarity using applied leadership psychology For more information on Executive Resilience Training: [Executive Resilience Training](https://docs.fixinc.io/service/executive-resilience-training.md) ## Frequently Asked Questions **What kind of outcomes can we expect from engaging in Crisis Preparedness Planning?** Clients typically gain clarity, leadership alignment, and a measurable shift in preparedness through Crisis Preparedness Planning delivery, regardless of starting point. **How is Crisis Preparedness Planning different from traditional approaches?** Unlike templated models, Crisis Preparedness Planning work adapts to the client's sector, stakeholders, and risk profile.
