For organisations where getting the decision wrong can have serious consequences
Maple Leaf Business Consulting works with organisations and leaders operating in environments where decisions affect people, safety, operations, reputation, customers and financial performance.
We are particularly well suited to organisations that are technically strong but do not have dedicated in-house crisis-management expertise.
Engineering & Manufacturing
Engineering and manufacturing organisations operate with complex interdependencies: people, machinery, production schedules, supply chains, health and safety obligations, cyber and operational technology, contractors and demanding customers.
When disruption occurs, technical expertise alone may not resolve the leadership challenge.
An industrial accident might require input from engineering, H&S, HR, legal advisers, insurers and operational teams simultaneously.
Someone still needs to establish the bigger picture and make decisions.
We help leadership teams practise doing exactly that.
Larger organisations without specialist crisis-management capability
Size doesn’t automatically create resilience.
A successful organisation may have HR, H&S, IT, legal, communications and operational expertise but still have nobody specifically trained to coordinate those disciplines during a major incident.
We can provide that missing layer of expertise through training, exercising and consultancy.
Senior leaders
We work with:
- Managing Directors and CEOs
- Operations Directors
- Engineering and Manufacturing leaders
- HR Directors
- Health & Safety professionals
- Risk and Compliance leaders
- Business Continuity professionals
- Boards and senior leadership teams
- Newly promoted senior managers
What do we help them achieve?
Our objective isn’t to remove every risk. That’s impossible.
Instead, we help organisations become better prepared to manage what happens when risk becomes reality.
That can mean clearer leadership responsibilities, better information flow, more confident decisions, improved decision recording, more effective communication and earlier consideration of recovery.
It also gives leaders something enormously valuable:
Confidence that if something unexpected happens, they have a structure for dealing with it.
Outcomes can be improved resilience, reduced risk, protected reputation and removing some of the overwhelm experienced by leaders facing a crisis or significant decision.
Could your leadership team manage the first hour of a serious incident confidently?
Let’s find out before they have to do it for real.
