In this episode of the Managing Uncertainty Podcast, host Bryan Strawser, principal and Chief Executive at Bryghtpath, delves into the critical importance of strategic alignment in crisis management.
Drawing from nearly three decades of experience, Bryan emphasizes the necessity of a unified approach to handling crises, whether it’s a cybersecurity breach or a natural disaster. He explains how a consistent crisis management process is essential for C-suite leaders and outlines the pitfalls of a siloed approach, which can derail effective crisis responses.
Bryan explores two pathways to achieving strategic alignment: a top-down approach led by the C-suite and a bottom-up strategy driven by resilience domain leaders. He underscores the importance of shared goals, metrics, and processes to ensure seamless crisis response and emphasizes looking beyond the immediate technical response to consider broader organizational impacts.
As the episode wraps up, Bryan encourages listeners to assess their crisis management processes as they prepare for 2025, aiming to foster long-term resilience through strategic alignment.
