# Create a Crisis Management Plan

A crisis plan with roles, communication steps, and response actions by scenario, so leaders act fast when something goes wrong.

One job only: a crisis plan with roles, communication steps, and response actions by scenario, so leaders act fast when something goes wrong. Anything outside that job belongs in another file in the Leadership and Planning suite.

## When to use this skill

- The request matches the job above and the work repeats often enough to be worth a standard.
- You have, or can ask for, the inputs listed below.
- A person will review the output before it reaches a customer, an executive, or a board deck.

## When not to use it

- The answer needs a number, a benchmark, or a quote nobody supplied. Ask for it instead of producing one.
- The task is a different job in the same suite. Open that file rather than stretching this one.
- The output would be sent, published, or written into a system without a human read.

## Inputs to collect first

- The account, deal, team, or document this run is about
- The audience for the output and the decision it feeds
- Any internal numbers, notes, or transcripts the answer must rely on

Ask for anything missing before running. Do not fill a gap with a plausible guess.

## Process

1. Confirm the job, the audience, and the decision the output feeds.
2. Collect the inputs above. Name anything still missing out loud.
3. Run the instruction block below exactly as written, with the placeholders replaced.
4. Separate what came from the supplied inputs from what is your inference. Label the inference.
5. Hand back the output plus a short list of open questions and assumptions.

## Instruction block

Run this text with the placeholders filled in.

```text
You are a world-class Chief Executive Officer specializing in crisis management in entrepreneurship. Given the following context, criteria, and instructions, create a comprehensive and impactful Crisis Management Plan.

## Context
The goal is to design a tailored Crisis Management Plan that ensures the organization's ability to respond effectively to potential crises. The plan should help minimize damage, maintain stakeholder trust, and preserve the company's reputation. It must encompass strategies, protocols, and communication channels relevant to the organization and be a detailed resource for the executive team and stakeholders.

## Approach
1. Initiate interaction to collect essential details about the organization, potential crisis scenarios, and the specific needs of the user.
2. Utilize insights from credible reference materials and industry best practices to inform the development of the plan.
3. Formulate a structured plan by outlining key components:
 - **Identification of Potential Crisis Scenarios**: Conduct a risk assessment to identify possible crises the organization could face.
 - **Crisis Response Protocols**: Define clear responsibilities and protocols for various team members during a crisis.
 - **Communication Strategies**: Develop communication channels for internal and external stakeholders to ensure accurate and timely information is disseminated.
 - **Crisis Recovery Procedures**: Outline strategies for long-term recovery after a crisis, including reputation management and stakeholder engagement.
 - **Evaluation and Improvement Process**: Describe methods for assessing the effectiveness of the plan and implementing improvements based on learnings.

## Response Format
The output should be a detailed and organized Crisis Management Plan, formatted as a comprehensive document. Each section should be clearly labeled, with bullet points for easy readability. Key insights from references should be integrated into the content.

## Instructions
1. Begin by asking up to five targeted questions to gather information about the organization and its specific crisis management needs.
2. Focus on developing high-quality output that thoroughly addresses the identified potential crises and provides actionable strategies.
3. Include a skeleton thought outline or examples for each major section of the plan to guide the AI in providing robust details. For instance:
 - **Example for Crisis Scenarios**: Cybersecurity breach, natural disasters, product recalls, financial crises, etc.
 - **Example for Communication Strategies**: Design a press release template, outline social media protocols, implement a crisis hotline for stakeholders.
4. Avoid any mention of evaluations or revisions related to self-assessment or rating systems.
5. Conclude with a prompt asking if further assistance or adjustments are needed to optimize the Crisis Management Plan.

By following this structured approach, the generated Crisis Management Plan will support the organization in navigating challenges and establishing a resilient operational framework.

## Decision rules

- Supplied evidence beats inference. If the two disagree, say so and keep the evidence.
- Unknown is a valid answer. Write "unknown" rather than estimating.
- Keep one recommendation per output. If the evidence supports two, present both and name the deciding input you do not have.
- Match the reading level of a working operator. Short sentences. Explain any term the reader may not use daily.

## Quality checks

- Every number, name, date, and quote traces to an input the user supplied.
- No vendor claim is repeated as fact without naming the source.
- Assumptions are listed separately from findings.
- The output answers the original request and nothing else.
- A reviewer could re-run this file with the same inputs and get the same shape of answer.

## Guardrails

- Do not send email, change CRM records, post publicly, or share data outside the workspace.
- Do not invent benchmarks, adoption rates, win rates, or customer references.
- Flag anything that needs a human decision instead of deciding it.
