RSM Consulting provides our clients highly experienced and proven consultants who design and develop comprehensive and sustainable Business Continuity Management Plans that span all company divisions and operating activities - supporting enterprise resilience through effective contingency planning and crisis response policies, plans and protocols. The value of a Business Continuity Management Plan can be measured in terms of its positive impact in supporting productive business activities, as well as enabling business continuity and enterprise recovery during and following a crisis situation. Between 2006 and 2010, it is estimated that 83% of companies will face a crisis that will negatively impact the profitability of the company by 20-30%. The value of a Business Continuity Plan can therefore be measured not only in terms of a moral obligation to a company’s employees or investors, but also in the value it brings to bottom line profits and brand strength.
With companies now operating in diverse and unstable regions, the risks faced by global operations are increasingly susceptible to high impact, high profile crisis events. The development of a comprehensive, detailed, implementable and sustainable Business Continuity Management Plan assists companies in insulating themselves from a wide spectrum of threats to brand, operations and personnel.
The RSM Consulting Business Continuity Management Plan enables a company to identify, understand and offset risks prior to their occurrence, as well as allowing companies to operate within business environments in which they would be otherwise prevented from engaging. RSM Consulting Business Continuity Management Plans can also be used to leverage reductions in corporate insurance premiums – offsetting or negating the cost of their development, as well as providing a safe harbor in terms of liability. Business continuity planning can support the company in winning as well as undertaking work through the alignment of threats to mitigation measures - supporting business interests and activities. The value of a well developed Business Continuity Management Plan can also be seen through:
- Mapping risks and guiding company management approaches and responses to postulated threats
- Protecting the company’s business and corporate interests at strategic, operational and tactical levels
- Bringing order out of chaos in order to depict a true reflection of company’s ability to deal with a crisis
