Keynote Experiences from the hot seat: the need for leadership in the period of uncertainty

Prof. Dr. Nigel Lightfoot CBE
Executive Director, CORDS (France)
In this presentation, Nigel Lightfoot will use the evolution of a number of crises from a personal experience to illustrate the challenges of working during periods of uncertainty and the essential leadership characteristics that are required to successfully emerge and recover from such crises.
Keynote Managing Complex Interactive Processes: a theoretical framework

Dr. Hugo Marynissen
President CIP Institute, Managing Partner PM (Belgium)
This presentation indicates a paradigm shift in the current thinking about communication in general and risk and crisis communication in particular, proposing a theoretical framework for enhancing complex interactive processes in organizations.
Keynote Practical implementation of the CIP framework

Juan Manuel Domínguez Ortega
Founding Member CIP Institute, SD Group (Spain)
This presentation shows the practical approach to the complex interactive processes and the applicability of the CIP framework to those less predictable environments dealing with complexity such as risks, hazards, or crises.
Both keynotes on the CIP framework offer an introduction to a common understanding of what CIP’s are. It forms the basis for further discussion in the various workshops.
Workshop What is needed to improve practical and theoretical thinking on CIP?

  • Track 1: Academia
  • Track 2: Public sector
  • Track 3: Practitioners
Facilitated by founding members of CIP Institute
Discussion Wrap up and feedback from the various workshops
Lunch at 12.30 pm
Afternoon until 5.30 pm

Keynote Complexity in Practice: re-imagining Disaster Incubation Theory

Dr. Mike Lauder MBE
Alto42 (UK)
This presentation will describe current research that is examining how rather reactive theories concerning crises might be used to stimulate foresight. Three cases will be used to illustrate this practical use of the re-imagined theory.
Workshop What might enhance the development of the CIP concept in the near future?

  • Track 1: Academia
  • Track 2: Public sector
  • Track 3: Practitioners
Facilitated by founding members of CIP Institute
Discussion Wrap up and feedback from the various workshops

Keynote Stakeholder’s involvement through scientific reasoning: communicating risks without risk communication

Prof. Dr. José Manuel Palma-Oliveira
University of Lisbon (Portugal)
In the past, traditional approach to risk communication has failed in many cases resulting in significant stakeholder unease and stress. This talk will focus on alternative approaches of bringing stakeholders on board in projects where risk is a significant driver for decisions.
Discussion Closing arguments & next steps
Dinner at 7 pm (facultatively)
