Would You Be Ready?
Things can change in a minute in life and in business. This is the anniversary of Victoria’s terrible fires and Landline was showing some of the flow on effects on a variety of affected businesses. There are the obvious things but also things you do not easily think of like higher water temperatures in the creeks that no longer had cool water running through shaded forest. This had an ongoing effective of killing trout in fish farms.
I am chairing the climate change session at the Australasian Aquaculture Conference and finding the right speakers to present a sensible program that will help people be prepared for the changes that may happen.
The interesting thing is that many emergencies can come out of left field with no warning. It may be weather, storms, fire or floods or it may be financial crises that predominantly come form overseas; it may be sudden and unexpected illness of a key person, or major failure of a power supply like the one that crippled Auckland 10-12 years ago.
If you had a catastrophe hit your business, would you be ready? Do you have everyone working together as a team? Do you have effective emergency planning? Do you have systems that can kick in to take of the workload of a key person?
Effective management systems help your business to be ready to cope with whatever eventuates and even avoid it in some cases.
Would you be open to discuss how the help I have been giving businesses like yours for the last 12 years will also help you?
