New
Zealand is exposed to
significant natural hazards
as well as man-made hazards
that can disrupt normal
activities. Business
continuity planning is
therefore important for all
organisations; it can also
help lessen dependency on
business interruption
insurance.
We
believe that:
-
an
effective business
continuity plan will focus
on maintaining the business
objectives of the
organisation
-
clients
should be as involved as
possible in the planning
process; they then have
ownership of the plan and
need less training in its
operation.
We ask
clients about their key
drivers, services and
products – and how much
disruption stakeholders
would be willing to stand.
Answers to these questions
help us analyse how:
-
disruption might occur and
how it could be prevented
-
the
immediate emergency should
be responded to
-
restoration to an acceptable
level of service might be
achieved.
Some of
our projects have included
crisis management or crisis
communication plans that
will help keep stakeholders
informed about the status of
service restoration and
issues arising.
For some
complex business continuity
planning projects we
collaborate with colleagues
in
Risk Management Associates
Ltd.
