Abstract

Crises come in different forms and certain challenges that may be considered as crises need to be addressed by a combination of activities by multiple parties over a longer-time period than past emergencies that could be quickly tackled by crisis management teams. Their implications are such as to require more than “business as usual responses”. Compared with normal levels of change, uncertainty and time pressure, crisis situations can make different demands upon board members. Some directors may be better equipped to handle them than others. Many boards need to review their strategies, policies and practices for managing existential risks and crises, and review their sources of crisis counsel. There are various questions that should be considered when undertaking such as review. Speech delivered in plenary session at the 2019 Annual Conclave and 29th Annual Day of India’s Institute of Directors.
