Building Resilience in Global Business Services with World-Leading BCMS

By streamlining and integrating business processes to enable more efficient and effective services, Global Business Services (GBS) plays a multifaceted role in society, from enhancing operational efficiency to fostering globalisation.

Disruptions to GBS operations can trigger a domino effect on companies relying on GBS due to the interconnected nature of modern business operations. Robust business continuity (BC) planning and management are therefore an integral part of any GBS organisation.

Planning for Business Continuity in GBS Organisations

Effective BC planning involves establishing critical functions, identifying potential risks and vulnerabilities, creating response plans by prioritising resources for quick recovery, training employees, and testing the plans regularly. Without a strategic approach in place, GBS organisations may find it challenging to recover from crises, leading to significant financial losses, reputational damage, and even business failure.

The implementation process initially felt a little daunting, as I had over 130 various government and statutory authorities to get through the initial setup. However, the team at C2 were amazing and took the volume of work and inexperience of some of the trainees, in hand and provided an excellent service. The support from 2 is excellent. Nothing is too small a question or too big a problem. The team are always only an email away and if anyone is due to be away from the office, we are kept updated with a temporary point of contact. The value for money C2 provides in comparison to the competition is respectable.
