A Practical Guide to Crisis Preparation
Crisis management is so much more than plane crashes ✈️. In a troubled world, crises loom all over.
Yes, I was involved in airline crisis management in my past airline career. I also gained much crisis experience in my 20+ years of active reserve duty at the Swiss Armed Forces. Real-life air rescue operations, assistance operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, and many exercises to defend the country in times of increased threats.
As an IT entrepreneur, I have to battle my own entrepreneurial crises now and then: Software outages, critical bugs, medical cases with employees, or the odd financial bottleneck.
As a homeowner, I have invested heavily in preparedness for adverse times – solar panels on the roof, solar battery, rainwater tank. Yes, I was often laughed at and called a prepper. Until the energy crisis struck after the start of the war in Ukraine when people suddenly started asking me for my advice on increasing resilience at home. Even people who used to laugh at me in the good old times.
All those experiences went into this practical guide which is intended to kick-start your own thoughts around crisis preparation and crisis management.
This eBook is perfect for you if you:
✅ Want to prepare for crisis situations before adversity hits.

3️⃣ Crisis Preparation: You start the crisis with what you have. You better prepare.
4️⃣ Crisis Response: You always start the crisis with what you have. You better prepare.
