Incidents rarely begin as crises-they escalate due to delayed recognition, poor communication, or weak escalation discipline. This 4-hour practical course equips professionals to identify incidents early, respond calmly, escalate correctly, and convert failures into long-term improvements.
Covering incident classification, early warning signals, response discipline, escalation thresholds, structured communication, documentation standards, and post-incident learning, the course uses real cases including Knight Capital, Boeing 737 MAX, Target breach, BP Deepwater Horizon, and WannaCry.
Designed for operational, risk, audit, healthcare, IT, and compliance teams, this course builds execution capability-not theory. Learners gain practical tools like incident classification checklists, escalation guides, response templates, and structured review frameworks.
Problem Statement
Most organisations treat incidents informally. Early warning signs are ignored, escalation is delayed, documentation is incomplete, and reviews focus on blame rather than systemic improvement. This leads to repeat failures, regulatory scrutiny, and reputational damage.
A structured, disciplined response framework is essential to prevent everyday incidents from becoming major crises.
