On 22 November the MEIRA Saudi Chapter, Tadawul and Instinctif Partners held a specialist workshop titled “Crisis preparedness and its impact on shareholder value” for listed Saudi companies at Tadawul headquarters in Riyadh.
Presented by Robert McAllister, an expert in crisis management and communications, the workshop aimed to raise awareness amongst listed companies on the importance of contingency planning, and management readiness. Referring to international best practice in crisis management, Robert shared case studies on both poorly and well-managed crisis scenarios and its effect on share value, designing crisis action plans, and developing an initial strategic response to a crisis.
