Continuity Readiness Review
A structured assessment of how your organisation would keep critical activities running after premises loss, supplier failure, or key-person absence.
Review scopeAnchor Risk Advisory
When disruption hits your operation, the plan on the shelf should already know what to do.
We advise Dunedin and wider New Zealand organisations on business continuity and operational risk — mapping critical activities, testing recovery paths, and documenting decisions leadership can stand behind.
Continuity advice grounded in how your organisation actually runs
Flood closures on the South Island, supplier failures, key-person absence, and premises loss are not abstract scenarios. Anchor Risk Advisory helps boards and operations leads prepare for the interruptions that would stop invoices, deliveries, or client care — then write recovery steps people can follow under pressure.
Advisory you can commission
Each engagement ends with documents, workshops, and decisions — not a slide deck that gathers dust.
Crisis Communications Drill
Practice the first three hours of public and internal messaging after a disruption — who speaks, what is known, and what waits for confirmation.
Review scope
Operational Risk Workshop
A facilitated half-day or full-day session that surfaces the operational risks leadership has been naming informally — and ranks what to treat first.
Review scopeHow an engagement unfolds
- Briefing call — we learn which activities must continue within hours, days, and weeks.
- Field review — interviews with managers, walkthroughs of premises, and checks against existing plans.
- Recovery design — prioritized actions, roles, and communication paths for the interruptions that matter most.
- Tabletop test — a facilitated exercise so leadership practices decisions before a real event.
What clients notice after working with us
They sat with our warehouse supervisors, not only the directors. The continuity pack finally named who opens the alternate depot and who calls the freight broker.

The tabletop felt awkward at first — which was the point. We discovered our backup site needed keys we did not hold. Fixed before winter floods returned.
