Business Continuity Management
Our Business Continuity Management consulting services use proven methodologies, assessing the current state of your BC program to identify and remedy existing gaps or vulnerabilities.
The three pillars of our business continuity consulting
Assessment and gap analysis
We'll examine your most critical business processes and functions and determine what resources are needed — including premises, people, suppliers and technology. We take a risk-based approach by identifying where your organisation is particularly vulnerable, helping you to direct your BC budget where it's needed most. This allows you to avoid future surprises, eliminate potential inefficiencies and save on unnecessary costs.
Strategy and planning
We'll help you go beyond simply addressing compliance requirements when offering business continuity as a service. We'll develop a disciplined, documented approach to engage your board-level executives, equip your teams to recognise threats to your business and empower them to take swift and assured action before incidents escalate into major disruptions. Whenever or wherever a disruption may arise, our leading business continuity management will prepare you to avoid or navigate beyond it.
Training and exercises
Our professionals provide business continuity services tailored to your business needs, from running training videos and facilitating routine table-top discussions to enacting relocation exercises to test your off-site recovery capabilities. Or you may opt to outsource your BCM program entirely to BERKELEY & LORDS, for longer-term, larger-scale managed business resiliency.

Our business continuity services increase business resilience
Could you maintain business as usual in the face of disruption? If your company is like many organisations, you may struggle to apply time and resources to a business continuity (BC) program. This is especially true when you have to synchronise thousands of changes to recovery scripts, deal with shortages in staff and a lack of technical know-how, and respond to other business pressures.
