Disciplines that define your resilience A modular approach to building your Crisis Management program.

Crisis Management equips organisations to handle high-pressure situations effectively, protecting people, operations, and reputation. It involves strategic planning, real-time response, and leadership development to ensure teams can navigate crises with confidence and control.

To support organisations in achieving true resilience, we provide 5 Crisis Management Disciplines that would - if validated annually - ensure true resilience. Each discipline can be adopted individually, but in most cases will form the majority of your Crisis Management program with Fixinc.

When you first engage us, we review the progress of each of these Disciplines within your organisation to determine your current capability.

Crisis management involves the strategic planning, coordination, and execution of activities aimed at effectively navigating and mitigating the impact of unexpected events or emergencies that pose significant threats to your organisation's operations, reputation, people, or stakeholders. It encompasses identifying potential crises, establishing response protocols, mobilising resources, communicating with stakeholders, making critical decisions under pressure, and initiating recovery processes. At Fixinc, we help you minimise harm, maintain business continuity, protect your reputation, and restore normal operations as swiftly as possible. Crisis management requires proactive preparation, swift response, clear leadership, effective communication, and adaptable problem-solving to ensure resilience in the face of adversity.

We do Crisis Management the same way we run our own business; by simplifying processes, going back to first principles, and standardising programs so anyone at any time can adopt how you plan and respond to a disruption. When you engage in a Crisis Management program with our Advisors at Fixinc, you are embarking on a partnership that is a collaborative effort, held together by strong and reliable communication. We're not your usual consultancy, we're something different, fresh, modern with a focus on the people that make up Australian, New Zealand, and Malaysian business. Still need convincing?

Frequently asked Crisis Management questions

How do we begin working with your organisation?

We start with an initial consultation to understand your needs and objectives through a 45-minute discovery call. This is followed by a digital proposal outlining recommended services, approach, timeframes, and investment required. We can then develop a detailed project plan based on agreed priorities. Once signed, an hours' engagement meeting is conducted within a 4 week window, and then the program begins.

How do you ensure program adoption across the organisation?

We use a combination of engagement strategies, including stakeholder workshops, training sessions, communication campaigns, and practical exercises to build awareness and capability across all levels of the organisation. At a more general level, we build relationships with key members of your team through email campaigns, one on one meetings, and even connecting over LinkedIn. This builds trust and typically uncovers issues or ideas from more introverted colleagues.

Do you provide ongoing support after the program is implemented?

Yes, and in fact, it is our core service offering outcome. At Fixinc, we're seeking to build lifelong partnerships with individuals and organisations. This does two things: it allows us to pore ourselves into the very fabric of your organisation and threat landscape, build relationships where we are always available to support you, and hold ourselves accountable to ensure your resilience capability is continuously growing.

What information do you need from us to get started?

Initially, we need to understand your current resilience capabilities, regulatory obligations, key risks, and strategic objectives. We'll provide a detailed information request once we agree on the scope of engagement via our client portal.

How do your services help organisations become more resilient?

Our comprehensive suite of services helps organisations prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptions through integrated approaches to emergency management, crisis management, IT disaster recovery, and business continuity planning. We align these with international standards and local regulatory requirements. However, at its core our programs and support gets into the heart of your culture and continuously identifies ways to simplify how you plan and respond to threats. People are busy, they don't have time to attend multiple, day long training. We make it simple.

How long does it take for a program to be rolled out?

Our team focus heavily on streamlined project management processes. We utilise our own technology to create implementation plans that make every step seamless. External factors (like getting your team involved with meetings) may impact time, but we have techniques to speed this up. Typically, a single program can take between 5 weeks and 3 months.

What ROI can organisations expect from implementing these programs?

While ROI varies, organisations typically see benefits through reduced impact of disruptions, improved stakeholder confidence, competitive advantage, and reduced insurance premiums. We can provide case studies demonstrating value realisation.

What types of organizations do you typically work with?

We specialise in serving medium to large-sized organisations across New Zealand, Australia, and Malaysia (the Oceania and ASEAN regions), in both public and private sectors. Our clients include financial institutions, government agencies, healthcare providers, and major corporations. You can see a list of all our industries serviced here.

How do you approach Crisis Management training?

Our Crisis Management training is tailored to response teams, executive teams, and CMTs and focuses on decision-making under pressure, stakeholder communication, and reputation management as well as crisis communications training and exercise. We use real-world scenarios and provide practical tools and technology for crisis leadership.

What’s the difference between crisis management and incident management?

Crisis management focuses on strategic decision-making for significant disruptions, while incident management deals with operational responses to localised issues. We ensure that your organisation has policies, processes, and capabilities in place to handle each of these disciplines. All programs will be seamlessly aligned to one another ensuring synergy across your response capability.

Still have questions?

Over a no-obligation call, we will walk you through how are tools work for you to determine if they're right for you.
