When Crisis Strikes: Learn from Failures that Made Headlines
Join McMillan and Vantage on Wednesday, January 21st for an in-depth discussion on crisis management - what works, what doesn’t, and the critical mistakes you can’t afford to make.
Our expert panel will explore classic crisis management failures to highlight common pitfalls that organizations face when navigating challenging situations. Drawing from their own experiences, the panelists will provide real-world examples that illustrate how poor decisions can escalate problems, damage reputations, erode stakeholder trust, and create legal and business complications that could have been avoided with proper planning and execution. The panelists will share strategic insights and practical approaches to help GCs respond with confidence and with the appropriate urgency to avoid the costly missteps that can compound a crisis.
This session includes dedicated time for your questions, followed by a cocktail reception – the perfect opportunity to continue the conversation and connect with panelists and peers.
Please RSVP by end of day January 12th.
