Ministry Risk Management, Schools, Businesses, Individuals
|
Risk management, the foundation for the written safeguards/procedures can minimize risk before it happens. Disaster recovery plans can minimize a possible disaster after it happens. Insurance is the risk recovery funding that makes it financially possible for the risk management, safeguards, and disaster recovery plans to work in harmony. Today's culture requires all four properly coordinated with our professional assistance for the process to work effectively. Ministries that are proactive with these are ministries which are dynamic and growing. Avoid "The Ministry Titanic Risk Syndrome," having insurance, but lacking quality risk management and written ministry safeguards = a possible disaster in waiting. Our professional personal services can assist your ministry with a specific road map to develop, restore, preserve trust, with excellence, without ministry compromise.
