Manage Business Continuity Incidents & Reduce Risk

How to manage Business Continuity incidents better

Every Business has a Rhythm

Businesses by and large operate in steady state i.e. there is a rhythm to their normal operations that has developed over time. Manufacturers produce goods, goods are delivered to customers, customers consume those goods and in turn create further demand for manufacturers. In the background people and process support the activities of the business to ensure that the rhythm is maintained.

But what if an Incident occurs?

For these businesses, incidents can disrupt the rhythm of a company, disappoint customers and lead to unplanned costs. Ultimately this isn’t good for business.

They will refer to relevant documents & procedures where necessary and will communicate with those who need to know where possible. In some regulated industries, they will record their actions as best they can, knowing that post incident, their decision making may be scrutinised. It’s a highly

What if there was a better way to support your people?

Well of course there is a better way, but what if a tool could give your people the information they need, when they need it most? What if it could guide them in managing an incident using the business’ predefined plan? What if it could record actions taken in the background, communicate with relevant teams and at the end of it all produce a report that can stand up to scrutiny?
