ABOUT KEITH CASSIDY

Working across Financial, Manufacturing and Consumable Goods industries, I offer 30 years of operational, tactical and strategic management experience in all key aspects of Business Continuity Management (BCM), Operational Resilience (OpRes) and more recently Environmental-Social-Governance (ESG) programs. This cross-subject matter experience lends itself to long term business sustainability and continuity strategies.As a certified MBCI, I consider and incorporate legislation, regulation and industry standards (balanced with practical experience) into relevant BCM and OpRes frameworks and programs. I am a keen advocate of linking Governance, Risk and Compliance core principles with continuity and resilience planning activities and outcomes, thereby providing a defined level of \'operational effectiveness\' quality assurance throughout the lifecycle of a BCM/ OpRes program.Using the guiding principle of \'Resilient by Design - Effective in Execution\' I am particularly focused on ensuring that Assessment, Implementation and Management effort and activities are appropriate to the size, context and materiality of the business.(one size does not fit all!).Specialities Include, but not limited to- Business Continuity Management- Crisis/ Incident Management Response- IT Service Continuity and Disaster Recovery- Recovery/ Contingency Plan Exercise & Testing- Operational Resilience- Quality Assurance- Program Performance Evaluation and Management Reporting- Governance, Risk and Compliance- Strategic Planning & Implementation- Critical Supply Chain Continuity & Resilience- Program Budget & Financial Management- Security, Audit, Procurement, Facilities and IT Partnership.
