A crisis meeting is like a high-stakes competition. But can you succeed if your meeting room is holding you back? Three essential elements:

1: The Right Setup

Your crisis team needs to maintain a clear overview and stay focused. Make sure you have a large conference table where everyone can see each other. Use a large TV screen for the digital log and action list, and a whiteboard for drawing diagrams or mind maps, for example.

2: Reliable means of communication

Make sure you have a stable internet connection and a backup option, such as a 4G or 5G router. It’s also important to have a reliable video conferencing system so that external specialists can join the call if necessary.

3: Strict time management

Make sure there is a clearly visible clock in the crisis team’s room. A clear indication of the time helps the team respond promptly, monitor deadlines, and make decisions within the desired timeframe.
