The Bryghtpath Crisis Management Framework serves as the foundation for many of our Crisis Management engagements. The framework comprises several components that help provide a baseline starting point for many elements of a crisis management program.
First, the Crisis Management Framework provides a high-level overview of program components that we typically see making up a crisis management program. These cover large program areas like strategy, planning & preparedness, 24×7 monitoring, ongoing education, acting in the critical moment, and taking stock of plans and performance through a defined after-action process.
Second, the Crisis Management Framework provides an organizational view of the escalation of an incident into a crisis, the activation of a crisis management team, and the leadership roles of the responsible executive, incident leader, and the CEO & Executive Staff.
We support the Crisis Management Framework with defined crisis severity levels and a graphical illustration of the lifecycle of a crisis from monitoring & alerting through assessment, activation/escalation, management of an active incident, ongoing assessment, and closure.
You can read more about crafting a crisis management framework in our article How to Craft your Crisis Management Framework. We also covered the topic extensively in Episode #59 of our Managing Uncertainty Podcast. You can also read how we crafted a crisis management framework for a QSR-brand in a recent case study.
Our Ultimate Guide to Crisis Management provides an extensive breakdown of everything you need to know about Crisis Management.
