Disaster Resource
By Bill Patterson
Ask most corporate executives about their plans for crisis management and chances are that many of them will say something like, "Sure, we've got a crisis plan. Harry, over in public relations, takes care of that."
But, just what does Harry really have? Unfortunately, in many cases, it is just an emergency checklist with some phone numbers.

Watch Your Back - Risk Management & Planning
By Don Durfee
When you consider all the bad things that happen to good plans, it's not surprising how often CEOs blame poor performance on poor luck. Product launches flop when customer demand is weaker than expected. A brilliantly conceived merger becomes a value-destroying menace when integration fails. Plans to expand overseas stumble over regulatory issues.
But risk-management and planning experts say such failures are usually predictable, and frequently preventable. The problem is that most planners don't think hard enough about what might go wrong before putting an idea in motion.
