What is the Cross-Functional Crisis Management course about?
Public-sector initiatives frequently face cascading failures during disruptions because functional units operate in isolation. Legal, IT, communications, and operations often lack shared protocols, leading to delayed decisions, duplicated effort, and inconsistent public messaging. Even experienced leaders struggle to synchronize action under pressure without a common framework.
