Marquard Consulting – Crisis Management Advisory Built on Regulation, Leadership & Real-World Experience
At Marquard Consulting, we equip organisations to manage crises with clarity, structure, and control—from the moment a receptionist answers a suspicious call to the moment the board signs off on a public response.
Led by Jens Marquard Sørensen, we deliver crisis management strategies that are rooted in international regulation and tested in the field. Jens has helped shape global conventions at the International Maritime Organization (IMO), advised multinationals through global crises, and trained everyone from operational officers to executive leadership.
We Understand Crisis—from Policy Room to Control Room
Jens has decades of cross-sector experience managing crises in both regulated environments and volatile regions, including:
Participating in IMO negotiations to shape safety conventions like STCW
Designing global crisis governance systems for Fortune 500 companies
Managing operations during piracy threats, cyber incidents, evacuations, and geopolitical disruptions
Training naval and merchant marine officers in high-stress leadership
Advising organisations subject to ISM Code, GDPR, AML, and other compliance regimes
This blend of policy insight and operational know-how allows us to create crisis management frameworks that are:
Compliant with national and international regulations
Credible in front of auditors, regulators, and insurers
Practical for real-world deployment under pressure
From Receptionist to Chairman—Everyone Plays a Role
Too many organisations build crisis plans for the boardroom only. At Marquard Consulting, we train and prepare your entire organisation:
Receptionists, who are often the first line of detection
Mid-level managers, who coordinate and contain the crisis
Operational personnel, who act under pressure with limited resources
Executives, who lead the public and strategic response
Board members, who are ultimately accountable
We deliver role-specific training, playbooks, and simulations that ensure everyone knows:
What to do
When to do it
And how to coordinate across the organisation
Our Services Include:
Custom-designed Crisis Management Frameworks
End-to-end scenario planning and simulation exercises
Regulatory-aligned Crisis Response Plans
Multi-level training and leadership coaching
Post-crisis audit support and lessons-learned workshops
Compliance alignment with STCW, ISM, EU directives, GDPR, AML, ESG, and more
