Identifying Key Indicators of Corporate Distress Crisis Management: Essential First Steps for Recovery Critical Focus on Cash Management for Stability

As environments become disruptive and unpredictable (both natural and unnatural), the need for Crisis Management has grown to be increasing more important. An organization is considered to be undergoing crisis when there is a sudden and unexpected event leading to major unrest amongst the individuals at the workplace. It is an emergency situation which disturbs the employees as well as leads to the instability of the organization. When this occurs, organizations are expected to have a Crisis Management Plan in place.

Crisis Management is the art of dealing with these sudden and unexpected events which disturb the employees and organization. Yet, often companies are like the metaphorical frog that doesn't notice the water it's in is warming up until it is too late. There are managers who either do not realize that they are in a crisis or their crisis situation is worsening. The early signs of distress are often missed. While they are not bad managers, these are managers that are under a set of paradigms that no longer apply and just let the power of inertia carry them along.

As a result, organizations in crisis find themselves faced with a potential cost that is greatly significant. This can lead to longer recovery time, a direct impact on downtime, and lost revenue.

This deck provides organizations the strategic approach to turning around their business when faced with a crisis. It provides 10 first steps broken down into 4 categories:

1. Culture and Leadership
2. Change Management
3. Business Transformation
4. Talent Strategy

The 10 strategic steps are the organization's guide when in crisis and there a strong call towards initiating organizational change.

This deck also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
