- the development of BCPs that provide assurance the organisation can continue to operate at acceptable service levels while implementing an effective response to a disruptive incident, and at the same time be safeguarding operations, reputation, and interests
- the development of BCMs that are scalable and adaptable to accommodate future growth and change.
Client feedback has attested to ongoing benefits they have achieved and observed. Feedback has noted the reinforcement of technical knowledge, greater executive understanding of how risk management creates and protects value, greater understanding of the importance of risk management for operational practices, behaviours and culture, the identification of action areas to implement and embed risk management, and the broader long-term achievement of improving the organisations’ risk management maturity and awareness. Our clients have continued to engage us to continue working with them, for example, in the provision of quarterly risk reports to the Board of Management and updates to the risk registers.
