Head of Crisis Management and Operational Resilience at 2ASG Advisory Solutions Group.
Organizations invest heavily in business continuity and disaster recovery, yet many struggle to answer a fundamental question during a major disruption: who is making the critical decisions? This session explores how crisis management provides the governance, leadership, and decision-making framework that connects business continuity, disaster recovery, cyber response, and operational resilience. Drawing from real-world experiences supporting global organizations, attendees will learn the key components of an effective crisis management program and how to position crisis management as the foundation of organizational resilience.Item description
