What do retailers do in a crisis? – Sri Lanka Retail Forum 2019

For retailers, effective crisis management can be the difference between ensuring ongoing success and business failure. Crisis management is a crucial part for every business and must be prepared to deal with any crisis at any time. It can be too late if you are unprepared as information, emotion, and reaction overload can prove to be overwhelming and leave your organisation panic stricken. Preparation for a crisis, in any form, will help save lives, save money, save reputation and essentially save your organisation. 

Businesses that fail to prepare for the worst are at a massive commercial disadvantage to those who seek to understand the threats and take action to reduce their vulnerabilities. Business reputations can be destroyed by a failure to plan and prepare for the unexpected.

This year’s Sri Lanka Retail Forum, will conclude with its final session on this current topic, with global experts to share their insights and learnings.
