Leadership decisions that hold under pressure
Decision rights, escalation and crisis communication for leadership teams who must act with incomplete information.
The challenge
In a crisis, the plan matters less than the decisions
A crisis tests leadership more than documentation. Executives must decide quickly, with incomplete information, while stakeholders, media and regulators watch.
REDS helps leadership teams agree in advance who decides what, how issues escalate and how the organization communicates, then lets them practise those decisions in realistic simulations.
