Leadership and crisis management session
A leadership session testing governance and communications ahead of a product launch.
- Situation
- Weeks before a major launch, the board wanted to know who would speak, decide and report if a data exposure surfaced on launch day.
- Approach
- We ran a facilitated session where a reported exposure reached journalists and a regulator. Directors and executives practiced escalation, disclosure decisions and holding statements.
- Outcome
- Leadership left with a one-page crisis governance chart, approved holding statements and a reporting cadence for the board.
Lessons learned
- Roles must be agreed before the crisis
- Holding statements save hours
- Boards need a clear reporting rhythm
