Continuity of Operations/Business Resumption
The development of a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) can be accomplished through the active and dedicated participation of key personnel and emergency planning professionals. The approach and guiding philosophy of Andrews & Associates for the successful development and implementation of a COOP Plan consists of three elements:
- Awareness of the stakeholders
- Ownership of the overall methodology and the role individual plans will have on the outcome
- Internalizing so each individual has a thorough understanding of the plan and the essential elements that insure successful implementation
To accomplish the goal of developing a valid COOP, we offer the following:
Planning
- Research and author a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) that support PDD 67, customized for your agency or department
- Ready your agency/department for successful plan activation and recovery
- Position you for alternate site recovery
- Demonstrate how a well designed and tested plan can ensure your ability to continue operations
Education and Communication
- Present workshops focused on COOP awareness and activation tactics
- Deliver train-the-trainer sessions
- Provide you with the tools to promote good communication within your agency/department and across agency lines
- Prepare collateral materials and identify other information sources to use in fostering awareness of COOP actions
Testing and Validation
- Assist you in validating the completeness of your plan by designing and leading a desktop drill or scripted activation exercise
