You can't anticipate a crisis. You can't predict how big it will be or how much it will impact on your organisation.

But you can be ready...

Watching an organisation go through a crisis can be like watching a kid's football game. There's lots of energy and commitment, but little coordination. They're mostly focussed on the ball, running where it goes, not thinking about the plan or their role in the strategy. It's not impossible to get a goal but it's usually through luck, not teamwork.

Unfortunately, particularly in today's climate, no organisation can afford to lose the crisis game.

You need realistic plans with properly trained and exercised staff to assure you and your stakeholders that you're crisis ready.
