Want an enterprise-wide 'lite' business continuity plan that is super easy to understand, develop, implement, and test?

You are in the right place because business disruptions are inevitable.

We simplify and make business continuity practical, actionable and strategic for busy executives and managers working in service-based organisations (including hospitals and aged care providers).

Don’t Struggle With Business Continuity Anymore.

Overcome All Budgetary, Time, And People Constraints.

Be Confident That You Can Respond To A Major Disruption.

Simplicity amid complexity

Complexity can hinder the creation and implementation of practical and intuitive business continuity strategies and plans. It makes them more difficult to understand, develop, implement, and test. And it becomes more costly, more time-consuming, and more resource-hungry, especially when you hire costly consultants who overcomplicate things for you.

Simplification will ensure that your business continuity strategies remain actionable and manageable, and directly support the achievement of your organisation’s strategic objectives. This can save you loads of money!

Stop struggling

You’ll never have to worry about overspending money, time, and effort on over-engineered or unnecessary business continuity planning that cannot be easily understood and implemented by everyone in your organisation. 

You’ll also never have to develop, implement, and test over-complicated siloed-based business continuity plans that your executives cannot confidently support.

We got you covered

Contrary to what people say, business continuity need not be over-engineered, especially for service-based organisations. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to business continuity.

In fact, you are expected to customise your business continuity approach to your business.

Simplicity and practicality are essential keys that will allow you to deliver critical business services after disruptive events.

Our Practical Business Continuity (SM) top-down strategic approach will help you develop a cost-effective ‘lite’ enterprise-wide business continuity plan that is super easy to understand, develop, implement, and test. It also complies with the international business continuity standard,  ISO 22301.

Practical Business Continuity (SM) emphasises a more comprehensive and integrated approach to business continuity that focuses on building your resilience and ability to withstand disruptions, adapt to changing circumstances, and thrive in adversity.

Plan-on-A-Page

When it comes to business continuity plans, less is often more. It takes more effort to simplify and condense information into 1 page than to create a 30-page plan that is incomprehensible, unactionable, and confusing.

A one-page business continuity plan is a simple but powerful risk management tool for any organisation. It provides a concise way to consistently communicate your actionable business continuity strategies with each employee in the organisation.

Advantages of a one-page business continuity plan:

  • Simplified understanding – One-page plans are clear and free of complex language, making them easy to comprehend for all employees. This fosters shared understanding across the entire organisation.

  • Enhanced accountability – A one-page plan facilitates clarity on roles, promoting accountability across the organisation as everyone comprehends their responsibilities.

A one-page plan often includes items like:

  • Incident levels.
  • List of critical business functions and resources.
  • Business continuity strategies.
  • Testing and improvement strategies.
  • Incident response actions.
  • Recovery and resumption actions.

As a risk practitioner, Patrick specialises in making business continuity practical for people to understand and simple and strategic for organisations to implement without over-engineering the process. His objective is to simplify risk management, making it practical for people to make better decisions.
