Business Continuity
BRM personnel have been responsible for the devel-
opment and implementation of business continuity
plans for companies of all sizes and across a wide
range of Industries. We follow a clear process of de-
veloping and implementing a BCM program which
begins with developing the company's BCM govern-
ance structure.
There are a number of unique aspects of the way BRM de-
velop and implement business continuity programs such
as…
BRM consider the embedding of the program into the
organisation as important as the development & imple-
mentation of the program. That's why BRM integrate the
embedding of the program through the entire develop-
ment/rollout process
BRM programs are focussed on what's necessary - not
what's nice to do. The program is completed more rap-
idly and in a more cost effective manner

7. Business Risk & Management (BRM) Risk Management
Risk Management
An operational risk is, as the name suggests, a risk
arising from execution of a company's business
functions. It is a very broad concept which focuses
on the risks arising from the people, systems and
processes through which a company operates. It
also includes other categories such as fraud risks,
legal risks, physical or environmental risks.
It is relatively difficult to identify or assess levels of
operational risk and its many sources. Historically
organizations have accepted operational risk as an
unavoidable cost of doing business. Many now
though collect data on operational losses - for ex-
ample through system failure or fraud - and are
using this data to model operational risk and to
calculate a capital reserve against future opera-
tional losses.
BRM have developed very effective operational risk
tools.

passionately review your business will assist you to
