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 base our business
continuity management
consultancy services on AS/NZS
5050: 2010 Business
continuity: management of
disruption-related risk.
Using principles set out in
the standard and our risk
assessment tools, 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.
