Annual Crisis Governance Meeting

Organizations operate in a dynamic environment where they are constantly exposed to a variety of risks. As the environment is not static but rather turbulent, organizations are forced to shift to a different modus operandi to adapt to the changing realities. According to the late organization and management scientist Peter Drucker, the greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence, it is to act with yesterday’s logic. Consequently, we should constantly update our knowledge and logic about how to deal with (new) dynamics in our environment.

To offer new insights here and true to our objective to serve as a bridge between theory and practice, the Chair of Crisis Governance hosts a two-day meeting that focuses on the exchange of ideas and knowledge on how to deal with a dynamic environment. We do this in a conference-like setting, where practitioners and scientists meet and exchange their expertise on various topics related to crisis governance.
