Organizational Need:
All organizations have information that tells the story of how prepared
they are to weather a multitude of storms. Usually, however, this information
is buried in files, documents, and people’s heads. The challenge is to gather the right data,
organize and analyze it, and report on it in a manner that is useful for
making decisions.
Having the right information in the right form to determine resiliency is
the basis for understanding the need to enhance preparedness to meet all
challenges.
Approach:
Eagle Rock’s highly trained consultants use a proprietary tool
called ERA*360. It provides the methodology to ask just the right questions
of just the right people in your company.
The assessment process is facilitated through a series of face-to-face
interviews conducted with key executives and managers from various business
units. Scores measure preparedness elements on the basis of
comprehensiveness, completeness, progress and commitment. Interviewees agree
with interviewers on the initial scoring, after which scores are adjusted to
account for data from other sources, such as internal documents. Subjectivity
is minimized by limiting the granularity of scoring criteria; in this case a
3 point scale is utilized. The ability to weight scores by degree of
importance is built into the ERA*360 software as an option.
The Result:
Roadmap to Resiliency Program Priorities (ERA*360)
The ERA*360 process provides the flexibility to address the areas of
business continuity that are most important for your company at the point in
time the analysis is accomplished. The final report highlights the strengths of the preparedness posture, as
well as those areas that need improvement.
Executives can use the report to understand their resiliency issues, prioritize next steps in addressing those issues and compare themselves to relevant BCP standards, such as NFPA1600, FFIEC, BS25999 or others. Business resiliency practitioners can see
the full depth and detail of each element examined. Click here to view a presentation of ERA*360.
Roadmap to BS 25999 Compliance The examination points in the ERA*360 correspond to the British Standards Institute BS 25999. Under this service, reports
and graphs produced using the BS 25999 viewpoint illuminate the guidance necessary to enable the firm to meet the rigorous specifications of the BS 25999 standard. Trained Eagle Rock staff professionals provide the guidance and assistance required
to understand and master what needs attention, with an actionable and concise project plan "Roadmap" to get it done.
