Subject matter experts Giles Carter (Air New Zealand) and Marc Armitage (Intelligent Risks) will conduct a lunchtime session on Crisis Management in Complex Organisations.
Giles will discuss the specific implementation of Crisis Management principles in large and complex organisations – in this case Air New Zealand and the benefits and challenges associated.
Marc will provide insights into Crisis Management principles, how they apply across a wide range of organisations, and developing bespoke exercises and training to support that function.
