“Nobody wishes for crisis. But in today’s disruptive world, it must surely be anticipated and prepared for, since it is not a question of if but when." -Desmond Kuek

Leadership is one of the most critical factors for any organisation’s success. Good leaders not only set their organisations up for growth, but also take the effort to prepare themselves and their teams for challenges and crisis. Simply hoping that crisis or the unexpected will never happen is an irresponsible leadership behaviour in today’s VUCA world.

In this digital era where information and perceptions spread instantaneously, speed in responding to the situation matters more than ever - the Golden Hour to respond has been reduced to the Golden Minute! Pro-active and effective communications are essential to good response strategy.

Gracing the symposium is our Guest of Honour, Ms Sun Xueling, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of National Development. Specially organised for leaders and organisations to think and prepare ahead for crisis, the line-up of practitioners, leading experts and Harvard University's Eric J. McNulty, the Associate Director and Program Faculty at the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative (NPLI) will share their experience and leadership insights in the domains of cybersecurity, risk management, regaining stakeholders’ trust, security-related incident management, and crisis communications.
