Risk Planning & Readiness
We believe that facing risks, planning for crisis readiness, and ensuring organizational sustainability is an increasingly critical component of strategic management in an era of disruptive environmental, competitive, and regulatory forces. Ensuring that an organization has the financial and human capital resources to meet exceptional challenges and unforeseen events is a critical component of management in the ‘new normal’ of uncertainty. Actual crisis events may be unpredictable, but methods to address them can be scoped and designed and a flexibility mindset developed. We have experience in the four stages of sustainability management:
Risk management audit
We assess the current capability of the organization to identify, quantify, prepare for, and monitor the specific operating risks it faces. We determine the preparedness of leadership to face crises calmly and systematically.
Scenario assessment
We evaluate a organization’s readiness to meet calibrated challenges, such as significant reductions in funding, dramatic changes in demand and supply, and disruptive competitor and regulator behaviors.
Crisis triage process design
We show how to assess the magnitude of any crisis in real time, and determine who should do what to meet it. During a crisis, it pays huge dividends to make informed decisions, communicate in a clear manner, and act first.
Recovery implementation facilitation
Once a crisis hits, we create a Crisis Steering Committee and implementation team to tackle the issue. Our structure combines resources and leadership from affected organizational functions.
I was very impressed and pleased with Almora’s Founder/Leadership Strategy and Evaluation Program. It guided me through many challenging exercises to help me to think through my strengths and weaknesses and provided solid recommendations on how to improve. These experts were very tactful and supportive through this difficult work, and I felt they guided me in a very professional and insightful way. I would highly recommend this program to others who want to improve their leadership and management skills.
