Last monday our senior researcher Steven van den Oord presented at the annual congress of the Study association POLIS. This year's topic: crisis management. Alongside academic colleagues Antonio Massella, who shared insights on an international perspective about crisis management and Kenny Meesters, who delved deeper into an information perspective on global crisis management, Steven did a presentation on some of the crisis governance research we are doing at the Chair. Many thanks to Study association POLIS for the invite, events like this are essential to share insights and spark conversations between academics and professionals. 💡 #Crisisgovernance #Research

https://lnkd.in/gzc43ugg Dear Collegues, Emergency preparedness is usually the last thing on the todo list. But today reminds that we must prepare for outages. Whether they are nature or man, millions are lost for no back-up plan. How often are you testing your systems? I can go on and on as an employee that hates to sit twiddling my thumbs for a systems outage. Every employee should have a manual at their desk to direct them for protocols as orders. Like a hospital has color codes. Those are the easiest to compare to. Yet whatever your healthcare operations is, be ready. I have yet to be with an organization prepared for system failures. Now that my husband was a President's emergency preparedness Commander, our family has a go plan and vehicle. We have a systems that we can access anywhere in the world from our RV as of April 1st. His next add on is a CB radio 📻. So friends, plan, plan, plan. Maybe we will see each other.
