How are you managing any potential disruption to your business?
Many enterprises think insurance will cover you for an unforeseen event but an insurance claim may take many months or sometimes years to reach a settlement. During this time, what’s happened to your customers and your business? Business Continuity Management (BCM) is an operational support before, during and following an event.
Business Continuity Planning, which is a component of BCM, is the process of preparing for and responding to a disaster, event or situation, whether man made or not, that could have a serious impact on the business or delivery of your services. It is about dealing with the initial emergency and getting your business services up and running again, initially on a temporary level but as soon as possible after that to a normal or acceptable level following an event or incident.

Business Continuity Services (BCS) is a consultancy focused on providing practicable and workable Business Continuity advice for small, medium and large sized businesses in New Zealand. Depending on the size of your business and the resources you have available, we offer options of advice on how to create a Business Continuity Framework, template Business Continuity Plans and consultancy advice for the completion of the framework and the templates.

The Benefits of BCM

Think about some of those events other than a fire, flood or natural hazard that may disrupt you:

• Loss of power
• Loss of IT
• Loss of services
• Evacuation
• Contamination
• Fuel shortage
• Supplier failure
• Infectious disease
• Contract failure……..plus many more.

BCM is an invaluable resource that assists you in:

• Preparing for a disaster, incident or event that could affect your services
• Visualising problems & how to overcome them
• At all times maintaining the key elements of services you provide initially at an emergency level, back up to an acceptable level as soon as possible.

The output will be a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) fit for your business. A well thought out and structured BCP will answer these 3 key questions:

1. Where do I go?
2. What should I do?
3. When should I do it?

• Reduced risk to life and property
• Prevention of avoidable incidents
• Minimising disruption, maximising profits
• Improved staff co-ordination in an emergency
• Increased staff awareness of risk and means of risk reduction
• Protection of company image
