It also includes material on leadership, sense-making, resilience, wicked problems and the challenges of global urban resilience, as well as case studies with detailed analysis of organizational failures and the lessons learned, including COVID-19, the WannaCry attack, the Texas snowstorm, and the Gatwick Airport Drone Incident.<b><i> Strategic Risk and Crisis Management</i></b> is an essential read for professionals working in security, risk, crisis management and emergency response.
