CRISIS PREVENTION

1. Implement lessons learned from previous emergencies and crises, and avoid reinventing the wheel

2.  Crisis-proof your company by reorganizing the 3 critical function components: systems, operational and human

3. Install “early warning ” and  “crisis radar” systems to provide timely identification of a crisis in the making – an effective monitoring, reporting and controlling mechanism

4. Implement crisis prevention mechanisms: system redundancies, backups, safety factors, crisis containment and organizational flexibility

5. Restructure the organization to ensure unity of command and action, authority commensurate with responsibility, clear task and deadline definition, complete responsibility coverage and overlap, prompt execution of decisions, and adequate task/ skill matching.
