Sri Lanka Retail Forum to discuss what retailers do in a crisis
For retailers, effective crisis management can be the difference between ensuring ongoing success and business failure. Crisis management is a crucial part for every business and must be prepared to deal with any crisis at any time.
It can be too late if you are unprepared as information, emotion and reaction overload can prove to be overwhelming and leave your organisation panic stricken. Preparation for a crisis, in any form, will help save lives, save money, save reputation and essentially save your organisation.
Businesses that fail to prepare for the worst are at a massive commercial disadvantage to those who seek to understand the threats and take action to reduce their vulnerabilities. Business reputations can be destroyed by a failure to plan and preparing for the unexpected.
This year’s Sri Lanka Retail Forum will conclude with its final session on this current topic, with global experts to share their insights and learnings.
Some of the expert presenters lined up are Malaysian Optometry
Association President and Malaysian Retailers Association Council Member Steven Ng, Nestle Lanka Managing Director Fabrice Cavalie, Unilever Sri Lanka Chairman Carl Cruze, Thai Retailers Association Executive Director Chatrchai Tuongratanaphan and former Singer Sri Lanka CEO Asoka Peiris as panel moderator.
