Special situations arise apart from the ongoing operations of a company. They can come in the form of a new product or a new plant. They can arise from a shift in the political or economic environment. These situations require custom solutions that address the specific need. BSGS works with clients to provide an experienced assessment of all factors and then works with relevant stakeholders to design an overall solution beneficial to all parties.
Special situations also arise from unforeseen crisis. Crises require action to insure that they are not repeated. Crises management is about immediate communication. Crises correction is about new policies to create a different reality.
Turbulence Reporting
A few years back the world was startled when oil prices suddenly spiked overnight. Much of the world was astounded when the housing bubble burst. Thousands of customers were startled last year when they learned that floods in China had destroyed much of the world’s hard drive manufacturing capacity resulting in shortages and higher prices.
Yes, we live in a turbulent world. Sometimes turbulence comes with an explosion that everyone can hear but more often they are heralded with a barely audible “weak signal.” that can barely be heard. Sometimes a company can identify the dots but cannot connect them. This may be from lack of expertise or it may be that internal political concerns have blinded the evaluators to reality.
Bustani specializes in providing decision making intelligence focused on supply chain vulnerabilities. We develop a risk model for each step of the chain from commodities to the end consumer. We examine the social, political, economic, and environmental risk factors and then create an information model that monitors for specific events. We then analyze the information flow to identify the weak signals that can be harbingers of catastrophe and the likely consequences to the client.
