In business, crisis is a fact of life. Don't get caught flat-footed when it strikes! Even with a good plan in place, potholes abound.

Listen, learn and participate in the discussion as these crisis experts talk you through real situations and give you an inside look at the dynamics of a boardroom in crisis.

Topics Include:

  • How does the DOJ decide which cases to pursue?
    What are constructive vs destructive responses to a regulatory or DOJ inquiry?
  • What are the components of a well-managed crisis? What constitutes a "good" response?
  • What is managements role? When does the board get involved? What are the proper dynamics between the two? How do you manage strong personalities in conflict?
  • How do you effectively communicate to the street, investors, staff?
  • How do you identify and retain outside experts?
    What are the ramifications in "waiver of attorney/client privilege"?
  • How do you turn around a crisis response that is not going well?

Don't miss this chance to build your crisis "roadmap" or fine-tune the one you have!
