​Siward Newton places four resilience zones around an enterprise to deliver the benefits of hindsight before disaster strikes.  

'Business as Usual'
​is an Illusion


In an increasingly connected and volatile world simply keeping a steady hand on the tiller and maintaining revenue is insufficient.  Protecting interests and exploiting opportunity in the face of unexpected adversity is becoming a hallmark of effective leadership.  Poor responses to unexpected challenges can be individually and organisationally catastrophic.  ​Is your team ready?  
​EXECUTIVES BEHAVING BADLY

​Some root causes of the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica crisis may have been entirely avoidable.  
PRESIDENT MAKERS OR FACEBOOK DESTROYERS?

​​Crisis Response Framework
​

​Business Continuity Management
​

Zone 4:
​Early Warning
​System
​
​The first few hours of a major risk event are crucial.  Wirth our Crisis Response Framework (CRF) embedded in your company you will focus the right people on the right things at the right time to regain the initiative.  
Guide your crisis response efforts using world class Business Continuity Management (BCM).  Make focused and cost-effective resource allocations and plans with a simple yet effective approach that significantly enhances preparedness.  
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Incorporates the risk awareness developed in the CRF and BCM stages into everything your organisation does.  High Fidelity Risk Appetite Statements reduce directors' oversight responsibilities freeing staff effort for strategic issues.  
The Early Warning System (EWS) is a deliberate, focused and disciplined  strategic intelligence system.  Collect valuable information for analysis against your firm's strengths, weaknesses and objectives.  Stay ahead of the game.

​

Institutions
​
​Your firm will be prepared for its worst possible day in ways not otherwise possible.  Watch productivity soar as stovepipes are breached and cross functional work teams seep into your entire organisation.  
Audit is important, but audit alone is insufficient for managing risk in a globally interconnected economy.  ​Your management team will thank you for the clarity of High Fidelity Risk Appetite Statements and the responsiveness they make possible.  
Whether you are seeking to protect and enhance competitiveness or preparing to attract expansion investment, the four defensive zones will help you achieve your objective.  
Access our systems through in person seminars, online training and by referring your members to our tailored capability development programmes.  Sound resilience floats all boats in an economy.
