July 23, 2025
🚨 Crisis Management👥 4 Roles⚡ Real Workflows

Same crisis. Four different command centers.

Tuesday you saw the monitoring automation. Today you see how comms, legal, engineering, and execs each use it when things go sideways.

Getting Leadership Buy-In

⚠️
Fear

Execs worry AI will make decisions without human judgment

💡
Response

Show decision tree: AI recommends, humans decide. System flags 'executive decision required' for high-stakes calls.

Result

Execs see it as 'super-powered chief of staff' not 'replacement CEO'

⚠️
Fear

Legal concerned about AI making compliance mistakes

💡
Response

Run parallel for 30 days: AI flags + human review. Track: AI caught 23 risks humans missed, zero false positives.

Result

Legal team now trusts AI more than manual process

⚠️
Fear

Comms worried about AI-written statements sounding robotic

💡
Response

Show templates are starting points, not final copy. Comms controls tone, messaging, timing - AI just speeds up draft.

Result

Comms lead: 'It's like having a junior writer who never sleeps'

⚠️
Fear

Engineering thinks it's overkill for small incidents

💡
Response

Configure severity thresholds: AI auto-resolves minor issues, only pages humans for P0/P1. Show 78% reduction in false alarms.

Result

Engineers sleep better, respond faster to real emergencies

⚠️
Fear

Teams worried about cost vs value

💡
Response

Calculate ROI: 130 hours/month saved across 4 leads × $150/hour avg = $19,500/month savings. System costs $3,200/month.

Result

6x ROI makes decision obvious. Payback in 18 days.
