When operations stall, prepared organisations recover
Poplar Core Strategy Group helps Western Australian businesses document continuity plans, assess operational risks, and rehearse response procedures before a disruption occurs.
Core consultations
Advisory built around your operating reality
Each engagement starts with how your site actually runs — staffing rosters, supplier dependencies, regulatory obligations — not generic templates lifted from another industry.
Crisis Response Workshop
Half-day facilitated scenario exercise testing your escalation paths, decision authority, and communications during a simulated disruption.

Operational Risk Assessment

Continuity planning that survives an actual incident
Documented playbooks
Written procedures for site evacuation, IT failover, supplier substitution, and communications — each tested against your floor plan and shift patterns.
Risk registers with owners
Every identified hazard links to a responsible manager, mitigation deadline, and residual rating so audit committees receive actionable updates.
Tabletop exercises
Facilitated scenario sessions where leadership teams walk through a flood, cyber outage, or key-person absence without waiting for the real event.
Regulatory alignment
Plans structured to satisfy AS ISO 22301 expectations and sector-specific obligations common in mining, healthcare, and local government procurement.
Client evidence
What directors and operations managers report back
After the tabletop on a supplier failure, our warehouse manager finally had a written escalation path. The exercise took a full morning, but we closed three gaps in our cold-chain backup that had sat on a spreadsheet for two years.
Operations Director, regional food distributor
The continuity binder is thorough — perhaps more detail than our board needed at first read. Poplar Core helped us produce an executive summary that still references the full procedures when auditors ask.
Company Secretary, Perth engineering firm
