The Inocon Group - Risk Mitigation Specialists and Crisis Management

Change. It is the one constant in today’s global economy. Market-leading organizations recognize the need to evaluate their performance and adjust their strategy regularly throughout the year. Reacting to changing market conditions or capitalizing on new opportunities sets them apart from the competition. Ironically, the same discipline is needed for their strategic Crisis Planning Strategy. An effective enterprise wide plan requires continuous improvement and ratification based on internal and external events that affect the nature of the evolving organization. As such, it needs to become an integral component of executive management and corporate governance. ReadyAudit™ ensures your enterprise wide Crisis Planning Strategy and arrangements receive the same rigorous review as you would apply to normal business operations.

Our process is both efficient and reflects human factors in the ability to accommodate frequent and rapid changes in business performance and geo-political assumptions. Change is constant in business today and we encourage organizations to continually re-evaluate and update crisis planning assumptions and business drivers. We find problems arise when crisis planning assumptions and arrangements remain static and ‘locked in’ thus becoming irrelevant to the realities of the constantly changing business environment.

Founded in 2000, The INOCON Group has been providing risk mitigation services and review to assist organizations in both the definition and assessment of existing planning arrangements, policies, procedures, and organization-wide readiness for any potential incident or crisis. Our ReadyAudit™ process provides a comprehensive review of existing plans and arrangements using The INOCON Group’s proven methodology to identify strengths and weaknesses in planning and arrangements. The ReadyAudit™ culminates in a formal gap analysis report which recommends actions to enhance strengths and address weaknesses.
