Talk with an expert

Available Across Australia and New Zealand

Kepner-Tregoe’s Major Incident Management workshop helps organisations improve the speed, consistency, and effectiveness of incident response. Learn how to facilitate service restoration, make sound decisions under pressure, manage risk, and communicate clearly during critical incidents.

THE CHALLENGE

When every minute matters

Major incidents place enormous pressure on teams.

Services are unavailable, customers are impacted, stakeholders demand answers, and technical teams are working against the clock to restore operations.

Without a structured approach, organisations can experience:

  • Extended service outages.
  • Delayed restoration efforts.
  • Conflicting priorities and actions.
  • Escalating operational and business risk.
  • Poor communication between teams.
  • Increased stress and decision fatigue.
  • Inefficient use of specialist resources.
  • Customer dissatisfaction and loss of confidence.

The challenge isn’t simply resolving the issue. It’s coordinating the right people, information, decisions, and actions under pressure.

THE CHANGE

Bring clarity and control to incident response

Effective major incident management requires more than technical expertise.
It requires a structured process that helps teams analyse information, prioritise actions, communicate effectively, and restore service as quickly as possible.

Kepner-Tregoe’s ITIL-recognised approach equips participants with the skills needed to manage the entire incident resolution process with greater confidence and consistency.

The result is a team that can:

  • Restore services faster.
  • Reduce time spent in analysis and diagnosis.
  • Improve coordination across teams.
  • Prioritise restoration activities effectively.
  • Involve the right people at the right time.
  • Make decisions supported by evidence.
  • Improve communication with stakeholders.
  • Reduce risk during critical incidents.

Participants learn how to take control of incident situations while maintaining focus on rapid service restoration and long-term organisational outcomes.
