Stop the Bleeding

Brian Sands writes from hard-won experience and the CRISIS framework is practical and specific enough to be useful in a real turnaround situation. The narrow Australian SME focus and thin critical footprint hold it back, and without independent reviews it's hard to judge whether the framework delivers outside its one documented case. Business leaders in the middle of a crisis may find it valuable, but it's a slim, niche pick for everyone else.
