To paraphrase Helmuth van Moltke, plans rarely survive contact with reality. But plans that are practiced and improved with the goal of creating flux capacity - the flexibility to deal with the unexpected in a quickly changing world - are far more likely to help organizations survive crises and lead to more successful decisions. Milena Rodban will discuss how she helps organizations tackle difficult questions, practice business continuity/crisis response plans, and make better decisions through the use of interactive simulations.
