Continuity Advisor Services

Challenges: 

• Does your business or organization preparedness requirements not perfectly fit other models? 

• Do you need to implement a preparedness program over a long period of time?

• Do your requirements and desire to prepare your organization exceed your current budget?

• Are you looking for a more creative preparedness solution?

• Do you need short term preparedness coaching or additional assistance for your in-house continuity staff for specific projects for variable tasks over time or that require multiple professional disciplines?

• Do you need an external review of your program, development of a single exercise or other single task that you are looking for non-traditional-consulting solution for a short-term requirements surge?

• Do you want the benefit of a business continuity professional as part of your team without the challenges of outsourcing to multi-year contracts or insourcing by hiring a full time staff member?

Preparedness for Faith Based & Non-Profit Organization (Prep4FBOs) 

Challenges:
Churches, faith-based and non-profit organizations face many of the same challenges small businesses deal with such as natural disasters, technology failures, and utility outages as well as increased threats to staff or congregant safety such as medical emergencies, bomb threats, protests, and active-shooter incidents.  These organizations also deal with other challenges: 

• Increased unique risks related to special services including daycare, schools, or elderly care

• A culture of service where the “doors are always open” increases security and safety risks

• Increased need for critical services during and after disasters to support the community

• Limited resources, small permanent staff, and a significant reliance on volunteers.

Recommendations:
Faith based and non-profit organizations should implement simple and flexible preparedness processes using easy to use checklists that focus on mission critical functions during disasters. Training should concentrate on protecting the safety of service customers, volunteers, and other staff from the most likely threats. 

Accinctus Solutions for Faith Based and Non-Profit Organizations:
The Accinctus Preparedness for Churches and Faith-Based Organizations (Prep4FBOs) provides preparedness planning and training in a flexible, best-practice based approach that churches can utilize at 4 levels of activity depending on their requirements.   

1. Prep4FBOs Workshop: Seminar to educate staff on basic preparedness fundamentals.  Includes a practical approach to risk analysis and developing a plan of action to address organization requirements.
2. Prep4FBOs Assessment: Delivers a completed set of documents that lay a foundation of a preparedness program. Designed for organizations that need help establishing a program but will implement long term actions with internal resources. 
3. Prep4FBOs Implementation Project: Full implementation of a self-sufficient preparedness program.  Applies business continuity practices using the Accinctus ADAPTABLE© model to meet preparedness requirements. 
4. Program Review or Exercise: For organizations with established emergency procedures, Accinctus can provide an independent review or a tailored exercise to evaluate your plans and identify areas for improvement.

 Business Continuity for Large Businesses or Enterprises
(More than 1000 Employees)

Challenges: 

• Large and enterprise sized companies must meet risk management, business continuity, safety, and process improvement standards in a highly competitive environment.

• Resources (people, expertise, budget, etc.) may be more available, but the risks to facilities, business operations, employees, financial expectations, and reputation of the company and corporate officers are exponentially greater than faced by SMBs. 

• Depending on the organization, business continuity functions may be fragmented across different functions such as IT, Environmental Health & Safety, Security, Compliance, or other offices reducing the effectiveness of a business continuity program. 

• Companies with successful business continuity programs may need outside expertise, perspectives, or reviews to find ways to improve their BC Program. 

Recommendations: 

• Large businesses and enterprises should implement a business continuity program utilizing a standards based Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) as defined in ISO 22301 or NFPA 1600. 

• Integrate employee preparedness training with corporate training programs.  

Accinctus Solutions for Large Businesses or Enterprises: 

1. Comprehensive business continuity consulting assistance to establish, manage, or improve your company business continuity program enhancing your internal expertise and resources.
2. Completion of Risk Assessment, Business Impact Analysis, or specific threat and mitigation assessments. 
3. Completion of formal audits or internal reviews focused on program improvement, compliance, or certification to standards such as ISO 22301, NFPA 1600 or PS-Prep. 
4. Development of a comprehensive training program for employees, team members, managers and executives
