The Crisis Practice Gap: No one skips every dental visit and expects healthy teeth, yet most executive teams neglect crisis preparation and expect a healthy response when it matters most. They are handed the drill the moment a real crisis hits, and expected to perform surgery they have never rehearsed. Most organizations invest heavily in cybersecurity tools and compliance frameworks but almost none invest in preparing their leaders to respond when those tools fail. Executive teams are the primary target of attacks yet receive the least training, and poor crisis response now carries personal criminal liability for executives.
