In the last couple of weeks I’ve turned into a woman who runs down Regent Street in ridiculous heels to get to her next meeting on time. Who has said, “Sorry, I’ve got a mouthful of lunch, hang on,” too many times on the phone because there isn’t enough time in the day not to work through lunch. Who has paid library fines even though the books are just there ready to go back, because she can’t get out of the office for 20 minutes to return them.

Smart managers are always on the lookout, focusing on hidden risks that can sidetrack any project or business. Without a contingency plan, there is no risk management recovery plan. Even if your plan was designed with the help of planning software, it could fail anytime. You can apply a contingency plan to any business or organization. Government institutions, for instance, use it to prepare for an economic crisis, like those we experienced in 2008 or during the coronavirus pandemic.
