What is the Operationally-Sound Crisis Management course about?

In fast-scaling environments, ad-hoc crisis response creates confusion, delays, and preventable failures. Leaders often lack standardized playbooks, clear escalation paths, or feedback loops to improve. This results in repeated mistakes, team fatigue, and reputational cost, even when incidents are resolved.
