New Zealand Business Continuity for Council
resilience

Council in New Zealand comes with unique challenges.

Business continuity in New Zealand is distinctive due to the unique natural hazards and geographical challenges faced by businesses, particularly those in the Council sector. With the country's susceptibility to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and severe weather events, the need for robust business continuity planning is paramount. New Zealand Council businesses must prioritize the development of comprehensive emergency response plans, which include strategies to mitigate the impact of these natural disasters, ensure the safety of staff and customers, and maintain essential services. Additionally, staying up to date with the local laws and regulations specific to disaster management is essential to meet the unique requirements of operating in New Zealand.

how we do it

Four phases to completing your Business Continuity Management program.

Council organisations experience similar challenges here in New Zealand, but your unique situation will require unique solutions. Our four phase approach to the management and facilitation of our programs allows space for customisation. With strict processes, timelines, responsibilities, and project management procedures in place, Fixinc ensures that your programs are following best practice, and specific to you.

Phase 1
Engagement

During the engagement phase of your Business Continuity Management program, you have the chance to get aquainted with your project team and validate the essential milestones linked to your project. This leads to potential outcomes such as:

Confirmation of project scope.
Development of implementation plan.
Assigning roles and responsibilities.

“Our resilience consultants are available to shoulder the burdens of your project. This ensures timely and cost-effective delivery. Here, you'll have a chance to meet them and build meaningful relationships."

Brad, Global Head of Consulting and co-Founder

Phase 2
Analysis

Fixinc's Business Continuity Management analysis aims to assess your current capability level and identify the critical products and services that are crucial for your organisation's survival in the event of a disruption. The key outcomes that may arise from this analysis are:

Review current documents.
Analysing organisational products and services.
Review the current threat environment.

Developing comprehensive Business Continuity Management across your organisation requires a fundamental understanding of Council products and services and the critical business functions that support them. This knowledge is crucial to ensure a holistic approach to business resilience and one we take very seriously.

Phase 3
Development

The development phase of a Business Continuity Management program yields tangible results and artefacts that can aid response teams in executing a well-structured and prompt response to any incident. The outcomes of this phase may include:

Develop incident response structure.
Develop recovery strategies.
Communication protocols.
Tools and checklists.

“The incident response plan serves as a framework to guide any Council response team in handling a disruption promptly. To be effective, the plan should be direct, adaptable, concise, and relevant.“

Ollie, Managing Director and co-Founder

Phase 4
Validation
The fourth phase aims to validate that the activities conducted in phases 1-3 are appropriate and fullfill their intended purpose. This phase also ensures that there is a continuous program of improvement in place. The key outcomes that may result from this phase are:
Response personnel training.
Scenario exercises.
Critical component testing.
Review and audit.
Maintenance program implementation.

An incident response plan should not be considered final until it has been thoroughly validated. The validation process should not only apply to the plan but also to the individuals who will be implementing it and threat landscape unique to Council in New Zealand.
