Continuity management is a strategic issue for organizations. Ensuring continuity of operations and recovery from crises divides organizations into survivors and losers. Unfortunately, business continuity planning and related training only get the attention of senior management when the company has already found itself in an exceptional situation.
Answers to the question “What if?” is easier to plan in peace ahead of time, than only after something has already happened. Likewise, regular practice ensures the usefulness of the plans and makes operational management significantly more efficient.
An organisation can face a serious crisis for a variety of reasons. These can include various technical, human resources, financial, environmental, reputational and hybrid threats. In a real situation, several different aspects of the business will be affected simultaneously.An escalation of a crisis can be avoided through proper foresight and planning. Continuity consultancy specialises in anticipating and countering these risks.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
