Charlie Maclean-Bristol, Founder and Director, PlanB Consulting

"Is your incident team ready to manage an incident?"

As BC professionals we are responsible for making sure that our organisation has teams at an operational, tactical or strategic (crisis) level who are prepared and ready to manage any incident. We write plans, train them and conduct exercises to give them the tools, procedures and techniques to manage an incident. We do this because we understand that they can make a decision that could destroy years of hard-won reputation and customer loyalty, lose millions of pounds in value to their organisation and cause major damage to the environment or even cause death or injury. Very often the incident teams or members don't attend the exercises or training and give us a limited time to prepare them for their incident role, which they hold by virtue of their position in the organisation rather than their ability to manage an incident.

In this interactive session, Charlie Maclean-Bristol will introduce a model for assessing the level of preparedness of your incident teams and then invite you to assess your own teams' level of preparedness through interactive technology. We will find out whether the audience's teams are 'fighting fit' or an accident waiting to happen.
