Organisational Resilience

Organisations cannot always prevent disruption, but they can prepare for it. Organisational resilience is the ability to anticipate disruption, adapt to changing conditions, maintain critical operations and recover effectively.

Consolidate Risk helps organisations strengthen their resilience through practical risk assessment, business continuity planning and operational preparedness. We combine structured analysis with practical experience to help organisations understand their critical functions, prepare for disruption and make informed decisions when circumstances change.

Our approach is designed to help organisations move beyond plans that exist only on paper and develop arrangements that can work in real operating conditions.

Business Continuity Planning (BCP)

Business continuity planning helps organisations prepare to maintain critical functions when disruption occurs. We help organisations develop practical continuity arrangements that reflect their actual operations, dependencies and risk environment.

Our work can include identifying critical activities, defining continuity priorities, establishing roles and responsibilities, developing response and continuity strategies, and documenting practical procedures for maintaining essential operations.

We focus on plans that can be understood and used by the people responsible for implementing them during a disruption.

Business Impact Analysis (BIA)

A Business Impact Analysis helps organisations understand which activities are critical to their operations and what could happen if those activities are disrupted.

We help identify critical functions, key dependencies, resource requirements and potential impacts associated with disruption. This provides a practical foundation for prioritising continuity measures and developing appropriate recovery strategies.

Our approach considers the organisation's actual operating environment rather than relying solely on generic assumptions or templates.

Operational Resilience

Operational resilience is about maintaining the organisation's ability to deliver critical functions when conditions change or disruption occurs.

We help organisations identify critical operations, dependencies, vulnerabilities and potential points of failure, then develop practical measures to strengthen their ability to absorb disruption and continue operating.

Our approach considers people, processes, technology, suppliers, facilities and other dependencies that may affect the continuity of critical operations.

Disaster Recovery & Recovery Planning

Disruptions can affect technology, facilities, suppliers, people and other critical resources. We help organisations prepare for the recovery of essential operations following a significant disruption.

Our support can include reviewing recovery requirements, identifying critical dependencies, establishing recovery priorities and developing practical recovery strategies. Where appropriate, we work alongside business continuity arrangements to help ensure recovery planning supports the organisation's wider resilience objectives.

The focus is on clear, achievable recovery arrangements that can be understood, tested and improved over time.

Crisis Preparedness & Exercises

Preparedness is strengthened when people have the opportunity to practise how they will respond to disruption. We help organisations test their plans and decision-making through practical scenarios and exercises.

This can include tabletop exercises, scenario-based discussions, crisis simulations and reviews of existing response arrangements. Exercises can be designed around the organisation's specific risks, critical functions and operating environment.

The objective is to identify gaps, clarify responsibilities and strengthen confidence before a real disruption occurs.

Relevant Standards & Frameworks

Our resilience and continuity work can be informed by recognised risk management and business continuity frameworks, helping organisations develop structured and practical approaches to managing disruption.

Depending on the organisation, sector and requirements, relevant frameworks may include:

  • ISO 22301 — Business Continuity Management Systems

  • ISO 31000 — Risk Management Guidelines

  • APRA CPS 230 — Operational Risk Management, where applicable to APRA-regulated organisations

We consider the organisation's specific regulatory, operational and risk environment when determining which frameworks and requirements are relevant.

  • Australian and international organisations

  • Government and public-sector organisations

  • Humanitarian and development organisations
