Tercon Consulting Launches  “Business Resilience Planning” Services

Former Oil Executive Claudio Man to Head New Consulting Specialty; Increased Risks, Volatile Business Environment Cited as Catalysts

Vienna, VA; October 4, 2011.   The recent spate of network security breaches, the continuing economic upheavals and even recent natural disasters are among the factors compelling Tercon Consulting, a Washington, DC-area based global professional services firm, to add business resilience planning to the services it provides for Fortune 50, government and international non-profit clients, it was announced today by President and CEO Jeannette Terry.

“Preparing for what are becoming more plausible causes for major business disruptions is the only way organizations can protect their enterprises and maintain stakeholder value,” said  Ms. Terry, adding cyber terrorist attacks, massive power outages, major supply chain disruptions, scandal, pandemics and product tampering as examples of significant threats.  “The human, financial, physical and legal costs of failing to accurately assess and mitigate risks are just too high.”

Former Exxon Mobil executive A. Claudio Man will lead the new Tercon practice. Mr. Man brings over 30 years of experience in organizational process design and change management, as well as crisis management experience gained following the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.

“Organizations need to balance the investment they make in establishing redundancies with the time and resources devoted to business resilience planning,” said Mr. Man, who will lead a Tercon team of senior-level consultants in assessing vulnerabilities, establishing and testing systems, and designing and implementing metrics and back-up systems.  “We help them to strike the optimal balance between the two and to eliminate waste and ensure that they are in the best possible experience to deal with crises.”

Designing plans, keeping them up-to-date, training the executioners of the plans and testing the plans on a regular basis make up Tercon’s fundamental approach, which they implement using  their proprietary EXCELerator™  business resilience planning tools, assessments and programs. The global consultancy has also partnered with information technology specialists to provide tailored and fully integrated support for their clients’ overall risk management strategies.
