I often speak with CEOs and general counsel about the challenges keeping them up at night—problems that have escalated or failures uncovered. One truism is that the companies that invest more time in crisis preparation are better equipped to recover when things go wrong. This week, an Economist Impact report shows there's still a lot of work to be done in organisational crisis preparedness. Over the coming weeks, I’ll share my thoughts on addressing various crisis gaps in a short series called Mastering Crises: A GC’s Playbook on Leading from the Front, starting with a focus on the role of law firms. 

More than two-thirds of organisations are failing to incorporate lessons from past crises into their current crisis management planning. This is one of the key findings from the FTI Consulting-sponsored Economist Impact report, Turbulent waters, trusted anchors: The general counsel’s evolving role in navigating crises, which is based on a survey of 600 GC worldwide. The report examines their role as crisis leaders and assesses how prepared their organisations are for crisis events that are becoming increasingly unpredictable.
