Create a Crisis

Task Force

Appoint Team

Assign Tasks

Assign areas of responsibility to leaders in each mission-critical area of your business.

Create Plan

Create a detailed action plan that describes what needs to be done, how, by whom and by when.

Manage Process

Manage the process by meeting daily and confirming all assigned tasks were completed. It is important to be nimble so you can be prepared to adjust quickly as market conditions change.

Create a Plan to Survive the Crisis &

THRIVE DURING THE RECOVERY

Manage, protect, and grow your people & your business

Create a plan that outlines everything your business needs to do to manage, protect and grow your people and your business during and after the crisis. By planning proactively, you will minimize the risks during this crisis and maximize the opportunities after the crisis.

Create a comprehensive plan

Include capital management, communications, marketing, facility management, , human resources,  and other mission-critical parts of your business.

Defensive & offensive strategies

Create defensive and offensive strategies that are ready-to-implement, depending on the market conditions. Be prepared to shift from defense to offense, to grow market share while other businesses are on the sidelines.

Forecast & Prepare for

BEST & WORST CASE SCENARIOS

Stress test your financials

Simulate different scenarios to forecast how to manage cash flow, if and when revenue decreases. Conduct financial stress tests to determine your cash flow positions in multiple scenarios, from best to worst case scenario, assuming you lose 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of your revenue.

Absenteeism in the workplace

Plan for a high level of absenteeism in your workplace, due to sick employees, those who stay home to care for sick family members, and those who must stay home with children. Educate your leadership team on how to properly handle employees who are sick, while also managing the operations with a skeleton crew. Create a skeleton-staffing strategy and processes for running your business with a smaller workforce, potentially up to half of your current staff.

Cross-train employees to perform critical functions so the workplace can operate if key employees are absent.

Identify

ALTERNATE SUPPLY CHAINS

Prioritize the acquisition of supplies that are mission-critical to generate short term revenue. Find additional suppliers, to hedge against the limited ability for your suppliers to manage the demand for their services while a large portion of their workforce could be absent from work.
