When disaster strikes or a global crisis unfolds, is your organization equipped to adapt and respond? In our rapidly changing world, humanitarian frontline responder skills are no longer optional-they are vital for building resilience and ensuring business continuity.
As highlighted in Forbes by our CEO Miriam Chickering, developing humanitarian skills is now a top priority for leaders across all sectors.
Why Frontline Responder Skills Matter
The need for crisis management training and humanitarian expertise is greater than ever. According to UN OCHA’s Global Humanitarian Overview 2023, a record 339 million people were estimated to need humanitarian assistance and protection in 2023, up from 274 million at the start of 2022, and nearly triple the 2015 figure of 108 million. These figures highlight a new reality:
- Crises are more frequent and complex
- Organizations face increased risks from supply chain disruptions, workforce displacement, and economic shocks
- Effective leadership requires agility, empathy, and a strategic mindset
