April 26, 2021


Overview

Webinar

Cleary Gottlieb partners Alexis Collins and Jonathan Kolodner participated in ESG Watch: Crisis Management Beyond COVID-19.

The discussion focused on successful ways companies are navigating crises beyond COVID-19. Panelists discussed how to:

  • Prepare for a crisis, including creating crisis management plans that you actually use.
  • Make decisions during a crisis with limited and imperfect information.
  • Appropriately engage the board during a crisis.
  • Continue to manage your businesses while a crisis is underway.
  • Avoid making a crisis even worse and, when possible, turn a crisis into an opportunity.
  • Capture and institutionalize the lessons learned from the crisis, so you’re more prepared for the next one.
