Our apps support a comprehensive and integrated approach
John’s approach is well recognized for “preventing disasters – or where that is not possible, reducing the potential for harm“. (Ref: Barrister Hugh Selby in ‘The Inquest Handbook‘).
We live in precarious times – we all live under “Damoclean Swords”. We are a exposed to different hazards. To different disasters. We are all differently vulnerable. The Damocles App focuses on how we are exposed to risk through interactions between hazards and vulnerabilities. The App addresses your vulnerabilities to disasters. Drawing on internationally respected Standards for disaster management and vulnerability assessment, this App applies the standards to align with your context. Risk is assessed in order to better manage it. Where your risk is unacceptably high the app supports effective planning – both before and after disaster impact.
“What If?” is a powerful question.
Scenario Analysis helps you to make better decisions by challenging your assumptions about the future. Exploring a range of alternative scenarios allows you to identify potential risks and plan how you will counteract or mitigate their impact – as well as maximising opportunities.
FlyingFish Business Continuity applies a risk based approach to managing resources you need to keep your business activities going – focusing on “must have” resources (People, Premises, Processes and Providers). Activities are assessed for vulnerability before impact – and impact on operability during a disaster or extreme event. High risk assessments trigger planning – which can be readily communicated by screenshots and/or PDFs – and managed for effectiveness (on or off time, target, budget).
Gap Analysis addresses four fundamental questions: “where are we now”? “where do we want to be in the future”? “what is the discrepancy – or need”? and “how should we bridge the gap / meet the need”?
Supporting methodical steps to significant decisions. Applying criteria-based processes. Clarifying context, identify critical factors which will affect the outcome of a decision. Evaluate options accurately and establish priorities.
Anticipate outcomes and see logical consequences.Navigate risk and uncertainty. Reason well in contexts requiring quantitative and qualitative analysis. The app is a support tool applying straightforward and methodical steps to help make significant decisions. Nimbly using informed, criteria-based processes – it focuses on clarifying context, in order to better evaluate options and implement plans. The app is populated with default settings, all of which can be readily tailored to meet your needs.
