Expert Insight
In post-incident reviews, difficulties rarely stem from a lack of good will. They come from ambiguity in decision-making, incomplete information, or insufficient coordination between teams. ISO 22361 is useful because it forces these points to be clarified before a crisis, then tested.The best use of the standard is to translate it into concrete mechanisms: activation, situation update cadence, priority management, internal and external communication, and criteria for shifting from crisis mode to recovery. Without scenario-based exercises, these mechanisms remain theoretical. With regular exercises, the standard becomes a living framework that evolves with the organization.
“A crisis is managed better when the organization has already decided how to decide.”
