EFFECTIVE CRISIS MANAGEMENT FOR CHARITIES
Anticipate potential crises and develop a crisis management policy for your charity
About the Course
Have you came across these headlines?
”Charity scams target people’s generosity amid Russia-Ukraine conflict”, or “Woman jailed for embezzling nearly S$1.5 million from charity, lost most of it in love scam”.
Charities, like any other organisations, are also vulnerable to various crises presented in the charity landscape.
From malicious individuals impersonating your charity in elaborate scams, to internal parties potentially misusing company resources for personal gains. Crisis, when not managed properly, can be exceptionally damaging to your charity’s reputation. When crisis occurs, it will sweep through your organisation quickly, leaving you little time to think of mitigation.
Therefore, it is pivotal to have a crisis action plan in place.
Our Effective Crisis Management for NPOs course will teach you how to prioritise top threats, ensure proper delegation of roles and responsibilities, and deploy proven strategies to help manage crisis when it comes.
Course Highlights
Discover a 6 step crisis management process, from performing detailed risk and business impact analyses to ensuring resources are.
Learn about the lessons from recent scandals and failures in the charity sector, and anticipate potential crises.
**Complimentary coaching session available for 4 or more participants from the same organisation.
