Crisis Communication Board Pack
In a crisis, your board’s response – or silence – will be remembered. A well-handled crisis can strengthen your reputation; a poor one can undo years of trust. This practical Board Pack helps boards strengthen their oversight, and lead with clarity and confidence. This Board Pack is complimentary for IoD Members.
