Crises Management

A crisis is an abnormal event that threatens the continuity of an organization’s operations and may even lead to its collapse

Many times, organizations may prevent a crisis by managing small situations and incidents in a timely manner. They can also mitigate the effects of a crisis, even if its occurrence could not be stopped. This can be done by implementing processes and procedures for preventing, preparing for, and responding to a crisis, which constitutes crisis management.
