Business Continuity Planning / Disaster Recovery
Herne Consultants Ltd

Business Continuity Management is defined as an holistic management process that identifies potential impacts that threaten an organisation and provides a framework for building resilience with the capability for an effective response that safeguards the interests of its key stakeholders, reputation and value creating activities.

PROFILE:

One of our Senior Consultants was initiated into this subject whilst working for a major US multinational during the Libyan crisis. Whilst the BCP then drawn up was intended to cope with a Terrorist Bomb attack, what actually did happen was a serious flood of the building!

This is not untypical: A good BCP will give your organisation the flexibility to respond to and recover from any incident. Often the "Disaster" that occurs is not the one which originally appeared to carry the highest risk.

Philosophy:

We take a very practical approach to this subject (as opposed to some companies who seem to spend so much time and money in developing meaningless risk percentages as part of a very academic Risk Assessment study) and we very much like to play a support role, encouraging and allowing the client to develop and "own" their DRP/BCP rather than having it "prescribed" by a consultant who, in virtually all cases, knows less about their business then they do.
Invariably this leads to a practical BCP which becomes part of the companies daily work plan, rather than a hefty tome which gathers dust on a shelf.
As part of this "practical" approach we are also frequently involved in the testing of Business Continuity plans, organising suitable exercises for Clients and conducting these in close co-operation with their key staff.
