We apply an innovative, capability-based approach, based upon extensive, practical, ‘real world’ experience.
Independence : Acumen’s only business is business continuity consultancy. We have no vested interest in the provision of work area or IT recovery services, software or insurance and can therefore offer truly impartial advice.
Experience : Our consultants are fellows or members of the Business Continuity Institute and each has over ten years practical, real-life experience in helping companies to plan for and recover from crises and major disruptive incidents.
Flexibility : We recognise that all of our clients differ in terms of their business operations, their business continuity experience and knowledge, and their specific requirements for support. Rather than adopting a ‘one size fits all’ approach, we aim to offer a flexible service, tailored to the needs of the particular client.
Personal service : We pride ourselves on the level of service provided, which contributes to the excellent working relationship we have with our clients.
Our philosophy is one of capability-based planning, whereby we aim to develop and enhance the client’s business continuity capability rather than merely producing a business continuity plan. To this end, our style is to work closely with our clients as part of their business continuity management team, with the emphasis on working with rather than for them.
A key part of the support provided by Acumen is a transfer of knowledge and ideas from our experts to the client’s personnel, increasing their awareness of business continuity management issues and reducing reliance on external support going forward.
Importantly, we recognise that all of our clients differ in terms of their business operations, their business continuity experience and knowledge, and their specific requirements for support. Rather than adopting a ‘one size fits all’ approach, we provide a flexible service, tailored to the needs of the particular client.
We aim to leave the client self-sufficient and not reliant on external support.
Acumen has helped organisations of all shapes and sizes across a broad range of industry sectors to develop, implement, prove and maintain their business continuity capability.

We work with Acumen as we value Andy Osborne’s clear and pragmatic approach to business continuity. He focuses on the key elements; the ones that really matter, with practical advice, rather than endless detail and multiple form filling
