I don't think contingency planning is actually that unusual for large companies. I did Google searches for "$groceryChain director of contingency planning" and found that many major chains have them (via LinkedIn). Also found some for hotel chains, etc.
- criddell 7y agoIs contingency planning the same thing as emergency preparedness?
- kortilla 7y agoYes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingency_plan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingency_plan
- criddell 7y agoFrom that page: > A contingency plan is a plan devised for an outcome other than in the usual (expected) plan. That sounds a lot broader than emergency preparedness.
- akiselev 7y agoEmergency preparedness is a tiny subset of contingency planning since real emergencies are so rare compared to mundane day to day problems like a truck breaking down or too many people in operations calling in sick during flu season. The less glamorous parts of the job mostly include calling alternative vendors in a rush trying to get something or someone replaced without making it appear like they're desperate.
