OUR PRACTICE AREAS
Crisis, Emergency and Business Continuity Management (CEM-BCM) - Practice Lead: Tim Curtis
This practice area focuses on instituting sound preparatory measures ahead of critical incidents, and includes development and review of plans, and the conduct of training, workshops and exercises / simulations. CEM-BCM is a 'core capability' that must be built and maintained as a highly applied skill. Our proprietary business continuity plans and procedures are both pragmatic and practical and have been employed with great success by clients confronting the highest profile critical incidents globally. When integrated with our ER capabilities, this practice area guarantees our clients an integrated, world-class response - from the control room to the board room.
Emergency Response (ER) - Practice Lead: Andy Ennis
The effectiveness of the first response can go a long way to predicting the ultimate outcome of the incident. Our ER practice area specialises in the auditing, training, assessment and development of this critical capability, across all industries and around the globe. Utilising only practitioners with decades of hands-on experience in government and commercial fire, rescue and medical fields, our ER team ensures the highest calibre of first-line response in time-critical situations.
Leadership, Teamwork and Resilience (LTR) - Practice Lead: Ben Pronk
Outstanding results - in both crises and business-as-usual situations - lie at the nexus of leadership, teamwork and resilience. This practice area focuses on developing leadership skills, enhancing teamwork and building individual and organisational resilience, even in operating environments characterised by ambiguity and complexity. In this respect, we firmly believe that theory is necessary, but not sufficient; strong academic underpinnings must be backed up with highly applied and practical methodologies if they are to survive in the real world. Our LTR team complement their decades of experience as leaders in elite special operations units with contemporary academic positions in a world-leading business school to deliver highly effective and impactful results to our clients.
