About the conversation:
A Business Resilience Strategy? Do you have one?
Most small business owners think that Business Resilience is not important for them. It’s a luxury, not a necessity. The big question is why?
Today there are so many different things you rely on that can seriously affect your business. Power outages, cyber threats, viruses and the weather are all common problems businesses like yours face on a daily basis. So your key questions are:Is your business able to carry on if something outside of your control suddenly happens and challenges the day to day operations of your business?
So if you rely on your business to support your life having a Business Resilience Plan in place is essential. Being prepared for anything catastrophic will protect your business and your life.
This Friday morning, December 20th from 7am until 9:30am “The Chief Resilience Officer”, Business Resilience expertPhil Jones will deliver his ’10 Minute tip’. He will be showing you how to easily implement a simple and robust strategy to protect you from losing your business through any unexpected outside events.
To ensure your resilience it’s essential to have a business resilience strategy with four core structures:
Your business continuity plan with plans and rehearsals to respond to all identified and likely operational disruptions, (BCMS according to ISO22301).
Your recovery plan which enables your business to recover from real disasters.
Your value protection plan which protects stakeholder value during and after disruption.
Your exploitation plan which enables your business to identify and exploit all the commercial opportunities which will be available to you during times of substantial disruption.
Simply put – you’ll be able to bounce back from unexpected incidents that cause serious risk to you or your business.
You may know what ISO 22301 means and how important it is for your businesses. Phil has helped many business owners like you prepare for and achieve this and BS 67000 resilience standards.
Phil’s ’10 Minute Tip’ will demonstrate why you can’t just put your head in the sand and believe “that will never happen to me”.
It’s essential that your business has an emergency plan. Otherwise you could either lose your business or lose loads of money whilst you can’t trade for weeks or even months. You can’t just depend on Risk Assessments and Insurance. It may not pay out in time to save you.
