Today, as the world grinds to a halt in the face of the global pandemic lockdown, both the top priority and top challenge that CXOs face is maintaining #BusinessContinuity.
What is the key to surviving this crisis?
Business Continuity Management plans: Such contingency plans enable companies to switch to remote delivery models, while maintaining corporate resiliency and handling essential functionality, both duringand after a crisis period.
Keeping your workforce engaged and aligned to your corporategoals is actually the #1 objective of any#BCP.
So, how do we proceed?
1) Arm yourself with the right tools –with all the necessary support infrastructure, and software tools for hassle-free functioning. At Infovie, we offer custom project management software with cloud capabilities which will give your employees unhindered access to data even from their homes.
2) Reassess your priorities – Set targets for timely deliveries. Determine what needs to be done, and what absolutely must be done. Make the latter your top priority and construct your project delivery schedule around this new priority list for the period of crisis.
3) Communicate – It’s important to keep all internal and external channels of communication open and fl owing. This means staying connected with your employees, vendors, distributors, investors, and everyone else connected with your business. This will give you better control and help you quickly adapt in case an important stakeholder in the chain gets impacted by the crisis.
Working from home can create disconnect and disrupt your supply chain. To prevent this, ensure that each element of your supply chain –procurement, production, and distribution – continues to work uninterrupted. We can cater to any issues that arise within this supply chain by identifying both our dependencies and critical stake holdersand address them accordingly.
Keeping your distributors, retailers, and your customers informedabout the changing situation is key. A well rounded #BCM plan mustinclude everything from emails to testing your network, cloud, datastorage, and security capabilities.
To recapitulate, the ability of your business to respond quickly and effectively to a crisis depends on two main factors – proper planning and effective tools. We, as Infovie, are here to help you create the perfect #BusinessContinuityPlan to ensure that your business services remain undisrupted, and your resources productive, even during a crisis.
