Finger-pointing is a natural consequence of breaches and system interruptions. Power failure? Component shutdown? Programming glitch? The biggest lesson organizations should learn from incidents like the British Air disruption is that they are all , at their root, caused by human error.

Reading about the attack on the team bus of Borussia Dortmund this week, got me thinking about incidents and football and whether this could be a new trend in terrorism; the attack of high profile sports teams.

This week Charlie discusses the recent British Airways IT disaster and how the incident was handled by the organisation. The pictures of stranded passengers sleeping on the floor at Gatwick and Heathrow are not good for the reputation of British Airways. I noticed, with slight amusement, that every business continuity and IT armchair pundit have taken to social media to express their outrage.

This week Charlie shares some thoughts on how organisations should react if they are caught up, blamed, or implicated in causing a major incident. The full tragedy of the Grenfell Tower fire is slowly unfolding and I am sure all readers of the bulletin join me in sending our thoughts and prayers to those who have been affected by the tragedy. I am sure there will be lots of lessons learned from this disaster and these will be revealed over the coming days, weeks and months.

This week Charlie looks at how United Airlines handled their recent scandal and whether PR disasters have a long-term effect on the organisations involved. You cannot have missed the recent coverage of the incident involving a United Airlines passenger. The flight was overbooked, because four United Airlines crew members required last-minute seats. Three passengers went voluntarily, but one passenger, Dr David Dao, refused to vacate his seat and was hauled off the plane by the airport’s security
