What is the Board-Level Crisis Management course about?
Crisis moments expose gaps not in operations, but in governance. Traditional playbooks fail when board members hesitate, compliance risks multiply, and public trust erodes in real time. The challenge isn't reacting, it's leading from the top when the usual rules don't apply.
