Business Continuity & Resilience
Anticipate. Resist. Rebound. Adapt.

In the face of multiplying crises — health-related, geopolitical, climatic, or digital — an organization’s ability to absorb shocks and recover has become a major competitive advantage.

This concept of operational resilience is now a top priority for executive leadership.

It is extended and complemented by organisational resilience, understood as an organisation’s capacity to adapt to major changes or crises while continuing to pursue its strategic objectives. This involves making key structural decisions during “peace time” — for example, regarding a supply chain, industrial organization, work arrangements, or financial structure — with resilience as a design objective, in certain cases to the point of balancing against performance goals. In other words, resilience « by design ».

Arengi supports you in structuring your resilience framework

We are involved in the analysis phases of the Business Continuity Management (BCM) process, using an approach combining process analysis, risk assessment and strategic support.

Business Impact Analysis (BIA)

The BIA is the first step in any BCM process and aims to :

  • Identify and prioritise critical activities,
  • Determine continuity objectives (including RTO/RPO, minimum service levels),
  • List the resources supporting these activities (5M),
  • Assess the existing level of protection and identify reinforcement needs.

Risk Analysis of Critical Processes

We analyse disruption scenarios, by cross-referencing the vulnerabilities identified in the BIA with threats specific to your context.
The concept of “scenario” used in BCM/resilience differs from traditional risk management (ERM); it is broader and focused primarily on impacts and vulnerabilities, rather than causes and events.
This analysis allows priorising business interruption or disruption cases to be addressed and target effective levers for action.

Defining Resilience Strategies

Based on these elements, we help your organisation to:

  • Pick your battles among interruption or disruption scenarios, by involving the Executive Committee in selecting which scenarios to address,
  • Define appropriate response strategies, combining
    • Prevention: organisational, technical, or human mechanisms to reduce the likelihood of occurrence
    • Robustness: workarounds / degraded modes: implementation of Business Continuity Plans (BCPs) to absorb business interrupting events
    • Adaptation: changes to organisations or operating methods to withstand disruptions, reducing the need to fall back on degraded modes, embedding resilience objectives into the redesign or initial design of an organisation, operating model, supply chain, industrial tool, project, financial model, etc.

Business Continuity Management Reviews

Assessing and strengthening your Business Continuity Management approach

Arengi assists organisations in reviewing their Business Continuity Management (BCM) system. This evaluation provides an objective view of the maturity level, highlights achievements, and identifies areas for improvement to enhance the overall robustness and resilience of the organisation.

Objectives :

  • Provide a structured assessment (Governance, BIA, Risk Analysis, Strategies & meaasures, crisis management, Training / Testing & continuous improvement )
  • Identify strengths and areas for improvement based on best practices
  • Deliver concrete, prioritized recommendations, adapted to your context
  • Propose a realistic roadmap, aligned with your resilience ambitions

Benefits :

  • A clear vision and shared understanding of your current situation
  • Actionable guidance to strengthen both technical and organisational measures

A tool for internal dialogue, engaging operational teams and management
