This is the last in a series of blogs about awareness to highlight Risk Awareness Week running online globally in October that I am presenting at. I’ve covered safety, sudden disruptions and awareness in the boardroom.

The course of an M&A transaction has to be set at an early stage, way before the actual deal

This is the third in a series of blogs about awareness to highlight Risk Awareness Week running online globally in October that I am presenting at. I’ve covered awareness from a safety perspective and from the perspective of an organisation responding to a sudden major business disruption.

As promised last week this blog is the second in a series of blogs about awareness. Why? Because of the upcoming Risk Awareness Week running online globally in October that I am presenting at. Last week I wrote about awareness from a safety perspective. This week I’m writing about awareness from the perspective of an organisation responding to a major business disruption such a fire or the sudden loss of a CEO. 

There are three things needed to manage a major disruption:
