Three Important Questions

Before you jump into a project, it’s important to answer these three questions:

  1. Have you defined the problem you want to solve?
  2. Have you identified existing capabilities to address the issue?
  3. Are your objectives clearly in-line to sustain or enhance preparedness in a logical manner?

If the answer to any of these was no, then a consulting engagement can help to gain clarity and, in the long run, save your organization time and money. Consider the following types of consulting engagements to help your organization move ahead:

Capabilities/Gap Assessments

Have you had a change in your emergency preparedness program key personnel? Acquired new facilities? Or are you part of a coalition that wants to build region-wide capability? Consider a capabilities/gap assessment to discover opportunities to improve your emergency preparedness.

Document Review, Validation, and Development

Is it time to review, update, and validate your emergency plans and supporting documents for your organization? I can assess where changes need to occur and determine if supporting components still meet strategic objectives.

Team Building and Facilitation

Do your incident management teams have a clear understanding of objectives, team member roles, and how decisions are made? By creating an environment which requires teams to use creativity and ingenuity to solve problems, I can help them gain confidence in their collective abilities, learn how to work together, and perform at their peak when a crisis occurs.

Digital Strategy

Is your organization prepared share important communications online or to field questions via social media? An emergency is not the time to discover gaps in your media plan. I can review your crisis communications strategy to assess team preparedness and determine how key messages will be coordinated and delivered.
