Purpose and Context
Strategic
Decision-making >>
The ability to respond effectively to and recover efficiently from a significant
disruption of normal activities is critical to the operations and reputation
of any organization. In fact, the impact of such a disruption is strategic
in scale. This elevates planning for, response during, and recovery from
an incident to the level of strategic actions. As strategic actions are
the business of leadership, the most senior officers of this university
will be the decision-makers, as members of the Leadership Group, in any incident that has the characteristics of a crisis
(see previous section). This will be facilitated
and accomplished by:
- Their authoritative
guidance, issued before the fact to empower Deans, Directors, and Department
Chairs to act and react immediately to any incident;
- Their delegated
authority for the Response Management Group to take timely action;
- Their deliberative
analysis of the specifics of incidents as the Leadership Group (when appropriate) from the Command Center; and
- Their decisions
to support immediate response, effective mitigation efforts, and urgent
recovery actions as necessary.
