As the world continues to get more digitalized, businesses have to contend with all the good and bad that come with it. This includes addressing business crisis management concerns—in line with business continuance planning efforts.

Crisis management has taken an all-new form in recent years, especially in the context of CX. Businesses need to adapt to unexpected situations quickly to cater to changing customer demands and ensure business continuity. It’s no longer about simply braving the storm, it’s about navigating through it with minimal disruptions to your CX operations.
