| Herne Consultants Ltd is an International Management Consultancy offering a wide range of services, which include consulting, training and support in the fields of operational risk management, corporate crisis management, business continuity and disaster recovery planning. |
| All our Consultants regard Business Continuity as a standard part of their daily responsibilities and actively integrate best practices into their non-BCP projects. Conversely we try and ensure that our BCP specialists also work on non-BCP projects, to gather a better understanding of other business aspects that may impact on their BCP projects. |
| Within our BCP team we have a wide spread of backgrounds ranging from “pure” BCP through Manufacturing, Communications to Accounting and Finance.
|
| Our approach to BCP is from the Business point of view, rather than from Risk Management, Facilities or IT, although of course all these areas contribute to the overall picture. |
| We take a very practical approach to this subject 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. |
