As a powerful storm sweeps across New Zealand today, businesses are facing the possibility of disruptions. From power outages to internet blackouts, these events serve as a stark reminder: risk management isn't just a buzzword, it's a lifeline.
For too long, many SMEs have viewed business continuity planning as a "nice-to-have," something reserved for larger corporations. But as we've seen with recent weather events, even a short disruption can have significant financial and reputational impacts. Can your business afford to be offline for hours, or even days?
I'm a firm believer in proactive risk mitigation. That's why I've invested in robust backup solutions for both power and internet. When the lights go out, my operations don't stop. When the fibre gets cut, we can still connect and serve our clients. This isn't just about convenience; it's about safeguarding my business's future and ensuring uninterrupted service.
So, as you watch the rain fall and the wind howl, ask yourself: do you have the risks to your business covered? Have you identified your critical operations? What would happen if your essential services were interrupted? Do you have a plan B, or even a plan C?
Don't wait for disaster to strike to think about risk management. Take the time now to assess your vulnerabilities and implement solutions. It could be the difference between weathering the storm and being swept away.
