Back to Basics: Responding in the Real World

Thought Leadership Webinar Series 2026 The Thought Leadership Webinar Series is a new, member-only initiative launching this year that will spotlight independent, diverse voices across the resilience space. Designed with practitioners at the centre, the series will create an open forum for honest, forward-looking conversations about the issues that truly matter to those doing the work. Back to Basics: Responding in the Real World Plans are written in calm environments. Real incidents are not. Information is incomplete. Situations change. Decisions cannot always wait for certainty. People get tired, communication becomes harder, and teams must adapt in real time. In this practical session, we’ll explore what response really looks and feels like when plans meet reality. Drawing on experience across emergency planning, multi-agency response, crisis management and organisational resilience, we’ll examine the human factors that shape response - from situational awareness and decision-making under pressure to communication, coordination and adaptability. A back-to-basics look at what really matters when disruption becomes real. We look forward to welcoming you.
