A routine review and update of plans is a strategy multinational companies and organizations can use to enhance the safety of personnel and physical assets and help with operational continuity in high-risk environments. APAC Assistance, as an operational risk company, has a robust record in enabling multinationals to make better, timely operational risk management decisions by developing and implementing relevant plans.
Importance of Creating and Maintaining Relevant Plans
- There are several reasons why it is important to create and maintain relevant plans. First, it is crucial to note that the threat scenarios and risk environments are always evolving. This means that reviewing and updating such plans tells or informs the multinationals what to do – the action they need to take to guard against the threats in their operational environments.
- Updates and reviews of plans are also instrumental in helping to streamline actions and responses in an optimum and efficient manner. As such, the multinationals will develop an understanding of the need to have seamless responses by making timely decisions.
- It is key to understand that planning is more of a compliance task. This implies that companies usually come out with 50-page plans that are not cohesive or implementable in actual situations. A lot of plans could be compliant, but they are also not actionable. This will hinder the understanding of the threat scenarios and risk environments. As such, a consequential effect of this would be making operational risk management decisions that are irrelevant.
- Furthermore, it is critical to know that wrong plans can hurt or hinder responses to differing scenarios. The net effect of this is making decisions on operational risk management that are incompatible with the prevailing risk situation.
APAC Assistance’s Support for Multinationals on Plan Reviews and Updates
APAC Assistance has a robust track record in helping multinationals review and update their plans. We’ve worked on creating, developing, and updating various plans over time in different risk environments. Some of the plans that we have reviewed and updated for multinationals include the following: journey management plans, emergency management plans, evacuation management plans, and civil management plans. So, APAC Assistance has always tailored these plans to the risk environment and country in which a multinational operates.
It is worth mentioning that there is no one-size-fits-all approach or strategy for reviewing and updating the plans. This is usually dictated by the threat scenarios in the operational risk environment, and by extension, the country’s risk environment and other factors. But it is key that these plans are never dictated by the headquarters or from another continent. They shouldn’t be compliance-driven. Plans need to be adaptable and offer flexibility to individual sites. Regular updates are important.
