Your Task
First, identify the core assets (tangible/intangible) in your organisation, or one with which you are familiar.
Second, analyse them in terms of:
• Clusters (assets working together with critical interdependencies).
• Relative criticality (i.e. putting aside the book value, are some assets more operationally critical than others, for example at certain times of the day?)
• Redundancy (is there back-up capacity or are there alternatives?)
• External dependencies (are you critically dependent on external suppliers and what is their level of contingency?)
• How the above points relate to your organisation’s contingency measures for recoverability and resilience (see Glossary in Unit 1 Textbook) in the event of a major disruptive incident.
