Crisis Minds was an incredibly enriching experience. I was truly impressed by the practical elements that were shared throughout the day, which allowed me to apply what I learned immediately in my role. By bringing some of my team along too, we now have a shared and agreed mental model of how we want to do or change aspects of our programme.

Engage with leading in-house professionals and advisors:

How to protect your business from reputational risk

From the meltdown at the CBI to Nigel Farage’s Coutts bank account and the Horizon scandal at the Post Office, many of the biggest crises over the last twelve months have focused on culture, behaviours, ethics and leadership.
