Sustainability

Is your business prepared to handle risk in today's marketplace?

In an extremely competitive environment, mismanaged risk can disrupt your business operations, threatening the continuity of your business. For this reason, a systematic approach to understanding your exposure is crucial in allowing you to better anticipate surprises, recover from disruptions, and quickly adapt to changing environments. Failing to minimize potentially harmful events puts your business at a competitive disadvantage.

Trends such as offshore manufacturing and lean sourcing have resulted in a complex network of suppliers and vendors, creating intricate supply chains with breakable links. A single disruption to your business can ripple across production lines and geographic borders, having multiple effects that can impact both the tangible and intangible assets of your organization. Such disruptions can:

• Decrease your bottom line
• Lead to loss of customers
• Negatively impact the value and image of your company
• Disrupt your supply chain
• Threaten business continuity

These impacts can last up to two years, and many companies never recover.

Intrigo provides the structure for dealing with these risks systematically, holistically, and effectively. Our framework identifies possible events as it pertains to your business, assesses them in terms of probability and magnitude of impact, and then determines a response strategy based on your needs.

Our methodology:

• Identifies the critical processes and dependencies within your supply chain
• Estimates the financial and other costs if minimum service levels cannot be achieved
• Identifies minimum service levels needed for your recovery
• Determines which recovery strategies will work if organizational objectives are to be achieved
• Minimizes the negative impact of disruptions
• Protect tangible and intangible assets
• Supports continuity

Risk, in today's global environment, stems beyond your suppliers, customers, and manufacturers. Our framework not only encompasses these dimensions, but we also factor in environmental risks such as of geopolitical instability, natural disasters, technology (or lack thereof), and climate change.

Intrigo's Risk Management framework will transform your company from being reactive to proactive, allowing you to increase opportunities for maximum growth and sustainability.
