BCP – Business Continuity Programme

Business continuity is the key discipline that sits at the heart of building, maintaining and improving organisational resilience and is integral to council’s overall approach to recognising, responding to and managing risks and threats which have the potential to cause major disruptions to critical business functions. JLT Consulting can assist Council to develop a robust Business Continuity Plan (BCP) through the identification of risks and threats and the creation of response strategies and plans to address incidents and crises. To ensure the BCP is current and appropriate, JLT can also facilitate training to all personnel with responsibility in the Business Continuity Management framework, as well as a scenario based exercise to test the existing BCP arrangements in place and the personnel’s ability and capability to respond.

BI – Business Interruption

A Business Interruption review enables Council to understand flaws in their insurance coverage through the quantification of the financial impact of business interruption and fraud exposures, and understand whether potential losses have actually been transferred as intended. This offering helps Council to avoid getting caught out with cover that doesn’t accurately reflect the size, nature or structure of their organisation. Completing a JLT Forensic Business Interruption review ensures declared values and limits are accurate, maximum future losses are identified and a revised policy structure and wording is in place for Council’s survival.

Climate Change

JLT Consulting provides services to assist Council to identify and analyse specific climate threats based on current climate projections. The result is a register of identified risks to inform future action on adaptation planning, clear understanding of impacts of Climate Change on different functional areas and information on climate risks that may impact on the organisation’s long term planning and resourcing.

Following the review Council receives a report with a recommended list of improvement actions that forms the basis of Councils’ Integrity Management Plan.

IRP – Insurable Risk Profiling

JLT works with Council to evaluate whether the insurance programme that Council currently has in place adequately addresses the organisation’s Maximum Foreseeable Loss (MFL) event risk exposures (in each of the insurance portfolio components). Findings of the review will contribute to the design of the insurance programme by providing information on the major MFL risks the organisation may be exposed to, and the insured limits of cover that may be required.
