Crises don’t happen very often, but when they do occur, they tend to have significant consequences. Without a well-thought out, strategic plan, your business is at risk of being completely caught off guard should a disaster happen.
"Know that a crisis will happen at some point. It's just a question of how big it is or how small it is. The trick is being prepared."
