Testing Times Ahead

8 Mar

In business it’s vitally important to avoid the disruption which can be caused by outside events. Whether it’s hold ups on the motorway preventing you getting to the office, unrest in the middle east having an effect on your supply chain or power cuts caused by a solar explosion, you need to be able to weather the storm and continue trading.

Planning for the unexpected is something we all do to one degree or another  – would you consider setting off on a long car journey without a spare tyre? A professionally prepared continuity plan is your business’ spare tyre and provides peace of mind in these uncertain times. Knowing that it is there, in the boot ready for that emergency is very comforting – but is it in good condition? Does it have sufficient tread and is it inflated to the correct pressure? There’s only one way to find out – take it out and test it.

To be certain that your contingency plans are effective you must get them out, dust them down and try them out. In the face of ever advancing technology, constantly changing customer demand  and relentless competition you need to know that your business will not crumble when the going gets tough. A regime of regular testing will ensure that your plans are robust, resilient and appropriate, giving you that all important edge over your competitors.

At Treble 9 our experienced emergency planners can ‘health check’ your plans, making practical improvements where necessary. We can also devise and run exercises to test their efficacy. The sense of reassurance which comes from professionally prepared, properly implemented and regularly tested plans is priceless.

With our help you can sleep soundly at night knowing that when an unforeseen event unfolds, your business will be able to respond, react and recover without breaking  stride.
