Business Plans and Executive Summaries

Writing an investor-grade business plan can be challenging and time consuming, even for those who have done it before. If you are a typical entrepreneur, you're already too busy focusing on other priorities, such as building your customer base, perfecting your product, or recruiting key management. That's where we come in.

Business Plan Review: If you have already written your plan, we can provide an objective critique before you send it to investors.

Presentation Design: Clean, clear presentations are crucial, whether you are seeking capital, partners, customers, or employees. We'll help you design a crisp presentation and coach you on how to deliver it in an engaging way.

Technology Review

With so much at stake and dependent on good information, a specialized independent review of the management of information technology and its functions is an excellent tool to ensure value-for-money in this complex area. Informatics management reviews and audits generally entail an examination of the management framework, the process to develop and maintain computer applications, the procedure to operate and support business applications, and the process to plan for, obtain and manage infrastructure components.

Risk Assessment

The context of "security" has been radically altered in recent times. Security managers are challenged as much by a lack of resources as by the mythology surrounding security. ICI has a depth of experience in undertaking Security Risk Assessments. This includes understanding the risk environment, assessing potential threats and evaluating proposed mitigation responses. The scope of security components is complex, incorporating:

• the security management framework
• IT Security
• physical security
• access controls
• employee protection
• Business Continuity Planning
