“Spills, Recalls, Collapses and Recoveries: Institutional Resilience in an Age of Crisis”
When: November 23, 2010
Time: 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm (includes a post-presentation reception)
Location: Gowlings, Lafleur, Henderson, LLP 16th floor, 100 King Street West
Organizers: The Canadian Institute for Advanced Research and The Hennick Centre, York University (an outreach centre in business and law).
Purpose: The Canadian Institute for Advanced Research is interested in stimulating public discourse in Canada on topics of importance to Canadians. In order to do this they are creating a series of public sessions where top researchers present on a current event with some persistence in the media. In this case, elaborating on recent crises by BP and Toyota, Dr. Diermeier will discuss how institutions manage crisis situations, how such situations reflect critical leadership skills of top executives and how public institutions and society adapt to these catastrophes.
Overview of Session
The daily news is filled with stories of environmental disasters, security breaches and institutional failures. Crisis management, or the ability to be resilient in the face of a major incident that threatens to harm an organization, has become a critical leadership skill. The damage from such crises can be severe, and the impact has spread beyond the affected companies, transcending corporate boundaries to shape the very society in which we live.

Sincerely,
Chaviva Hosek
