Tip #4: Do you think “outside of the box” when preparing a crisis plan? Do you prepare for how the crisis might impact contractors or clients who are onsite when the unforeseen occurs? We tend to get a bit of tunnel vision when developing plans. Although you may feel you have your hands full just putting together a solid plan for the company and its employees, have you thought of the others who might be impacted and how it will affect your business? Think outside of the box – a crisis does.

Excellent point! So many times we expect the rotten thing to happen only to us and not affect a single entity outside of our direct control. Granted in terms of likelihood that’s true, but the really severe events that keep Boards of Directors up at night and can cripple a business usually affect one or more customers, suppliers, neighbors, etc.
