Preparing for a crisis

This webinar explores what effective crisis strategy really looks like — before a crisis hits, in the heat of the moment, and through recovery. You’ll gain a clear framework for decision-making under pressure, protecting reputation, engaging stakeholders, and maintaining internal confidence when everything feels unstable.

This is not a theoretical session. It’s grounded in real-world scenarios, practical tools, and hard-won lessons from frontline crisis environments. Join Jo Scard, CEO and Founder of Fifty Acres for this insightful session.

What you’ll learn:

• how to prepare for a crisis before it happens
• what to prioritise in the first 24–72 hours
• how to manage media, government, staff, boards and community expectations
• what to say — and what not to say — when the pressure is on
• how to stabilise trust during uncertainty
• turning crisis into a platform for credibility, reform and resilience

This session is ideal for leaders, communications teams, board members, policy, advocacy and brand managers working in high-exposure environments — including not-for-profits, government-facing organisations, corporates and social impact groups.
