Despite careful planning, an IRT might face several challenges, including:
Lack of Resources: Insufficient tools, personnel, or budget can hamper response efforts. Poor Communication: Miscommunication can lead to confusion and inefficiency. Resistance to Change: Organizational inertia can make it difficult to implement new procedures or technologies. Emotional Stress: The pressure of managing a crisis can take a toll on team members.
Business leaders must be proactive in addressing these challenges to ensure the IRT can function optimally.
