Is a crisis the time to change leaders? Is it better to avoid such changes during the indefinite times? Crisis management is a unique practice that is only necessary at the most dire of times. When it is necessary and practiced appropriately, it can save a company from the worst outcomes. This presentation by Danny Goldberg will take attendees through the basics of crisis management: Who does it well? Who should be in charge? what is the risk/compliance role in this process and how will the organization be changed after such crisis? Learning objectives include:

• Discovering lessons from companies that mishandled crisis management
• Discussing how to handle crisis messaging when social media has exposed every facet of life
• Considering other business continuity planning that should occur based on key learnings from the current environment
• Understanding how to deal with the pervasiveness of social media
