Governance

- Roles, committees and reporting lines
- Integration of emergency, crisis and continuity arrangements

One governed system, not separate plans
Connecting emergency, crisis and continuity arrangements into a single resilience system with clear governance and ownership.
The challenge
Disruption does not respect organizational boundaries
Emergency response, crisis management and business continuity are often owned by different teams, written at different times and tested separately. When disruption arrives, the joins between them are where response breaks down.
REDS helps organizations connect these arrangements under one governance model, with shared priorities, clear interfaces and a single view of readiness for leadership.
