Ms. Åse Lunde

ase-lundeAs Managing Director of Lunde Risk Reduction, Åse works with clients in both corporate and public sectors. She has developed an integrated methodology that underpins Crisis Management and Continuity Management.

In addition to the crisis management process itself, Åse has a special focus on two risk scenarios:

  • High social unrest and violent social conflicts, which can escalate into crises
  • Security of staff working in professions or environments which pose a higher exposure to threats and violence and where personal security is at risk

Characteristic of her work style is a holistic systems approach to the Crisis Management Process and an understanding of how Risk Management, Continuity Management, and Crisis Management are interrelated at the strategic, operational and individual levels. The holistic systems approach to the Crisis Management Process includes work before, during and after any crisis/emergency/disaster/incident.
