Recovery from operational downtime – from cybersecurity events, pandemics, natural disasters, or supply chain disruptions – requires effective preparation, planning, and rehearsal to be credible. As natural and man-made incidents are increasing in frequency and magnitude, prudent organizations set strategy and carefully plan and exercise how they will effectively operate in a crisis. Business interruptions rank among the top ten risks named by senior management and board members across many industry sectors. Leaders recognize that their organizations must understand the consequences of prolonged business disruption and the significant impact it can have on the security and financial, reputational, legal, and regulatory health of an enterprise.

​

Management teams are expected to be able to run their organizations nearly as effectively during critical incidents as they do under normal operating circumstances. Stelnicki advisory teams can provide management with an end-to-end risk mitigation plan which includes internal communication plans that set the tone at the top, assist in funding planning efforts, supporting regular exercises, and create a risk-aware culture that absorbs “lessons learned” and feeds them back into organizations’ preparedness efforts through a continuous improvement process. Stelnicki assists in developing a risk mitigation plan that will not only lead to success but also provide stakeholders and observers – markets, regulators, suppliers, customers, and shareholders a comfort level that our clients are prepared to weather any storm. 

 

Stelnicki works with clients around their:

​

• Enterprise risk management program

• Business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities

• Crisis management governance framework

Compliance & Ethics

 

Compliance and ethics programs are essential to effective organizational operations. Whether an enterprise is a startup, large multinational corporation, or regional nonprofit, instilling compliant and ethical behavior is not just about complying with minimum regulatory standards or implementing an optional risk mitigation tool. Robust compliance and ethics programs can increase profitability and performance through more trusting work environments and stakeholder relationships; confidence in operations and decision-making; increased customer retention and loyalty; and the avoidance of the many negative consequences of noncompliant or unethical behavior. Just like any other enterprise operation, however, compliance and ethics programs need to be appropriately customized and scaled to be effective and achieve their intended results.

​
