Resilience Advisory

Business Continuity Management (BCM) is a holistic process that helps organizations prepare for and respond to potential disruptions by identifying threats, assessing impacts, and developing plans to minimize downtime and ensure continued operations. 

It encompasses risk management, emergency response, and disaster recovery to ensure organizational resilience. 

Disaster recovery (DR) is the process an organization uses to restore its IT infrastructure and data after a disruption, such as a natural disaster, cyberattack, or equipment failure. 

It involves creating a plan and implementing technologies to minimize data loss and business downtime. 

Crisis management refers to how an organization responds to a significant and disruptive event that poses a threat to its operations, reputation, or stakeholders. 

The primary goal of crisis management is to minimize damage, protect stakeholders, and restore business continuity. It is essential to have a well-developed crisis management plan in place.

Emergency preparedness (EP) involves proactive measures to ensure safety during and after an emergency. Emergency response (ER) includes coordinated actions to mitigate a crisis's impact and restore normalcy.

EP involves planning for supplies and safety measures while identifying potential risks. ER outlines procedures and resources for crises, ensuring compliance with regulations.

Resilience master planning is a comprehensive approach beyond individual projects to address the community's ability to withstand and recover from shocks and stresses, such as natural disasters or climate change. It involves identifying vulnerabilities, establishing adaptation and mitigation strategies, and creating recovery plans to protect people, assets, and infrastructure. 

Resilience engineering planning focuses on designing systems that can anticipate, withstand, and recover from disruptions, whether planned or unexpected. This approach ensures the continuous operation of critical systems while minimizing disruptions. It considers the entire system, including social, technical, and organizational factors.

 An energy audit is a process that examines and analyzes a building's energy consumption to identify opportunities for improving efficiency. This process includes evaluating various elements such as insulation, heating and cooling systems, and appliance usage to pinpoint areas where energy is being wasted. 

Smart Building Readiness and Planning involves assessing a building's capacity to implement smart technologies that improve energy efficiency, comfort, and performance. This process includes planning upgrades or installations and often utilizes the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) to evaluate adaptability to these technologies.

Supply chain resilience and sustainability are interconnected and vital in today’s global landscape. A resilient supply chain can recover from disruptions, while a sustainable one emphasizes environmental and social responsibility. Achieving both requires a comprehensive approach, which includes diversifying suppliers, enhancing transparency, and engaging with stakeholders.

An energy management plan is a strategic roadmap aimed at enhancing energy efficiency, reducing costs, and minimizing environmental impact. It evaluates current energy use, identifies improvement areas, and implements cost-saving strategies. Key steps include measuring energy consumption, conducting audits, creating an action plan, and involving staff.

A monitoring and goal-tracking program helps organizations set and track specific objectives, ensuring alignment with strategic plans. It involves defining goals, establishing milestones, monitoring progress, and allowing adjustments as needed. This system identifies lagging or exceeding progress areas, enabling organizations to optimize their efforts effectively.

Carbon reduction aims to lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases from human activities. Achieving net zero means balancing emitted gases with an equivalent amount removed from the atmosphere. Advisory tp businesses and organizations on strategies to reduce their carbon footprints and reach net-zero emissions.
