- Potential loss of profit and clients due to loss of margins and pricing/tariff pressure from competitors.
- Potential loss of profit due to business interruption and temporary lack of leadership. Likely additional costs of recruitment. Remaining senior management being ‘stretched’ and having to focus on problem areas to the detriment of the greater part of the business. Potential loss of client base due to poor servicing and failure to maintain relationships.
- Ineffective recruitment policies and procedures, lack of/poor incentivisation/recognition, failure to maintain competitive remuneration policies and lack of internal growth paths. Inadequately qualified, inexperienced employees or demotivated employees resulting in inefficient operations, loss of revenue, loss of employees to other organisations and loss of clients.
- Failures in communicating with business-critical IT operating systems/software. Includes failures of the cloud-based systems themselves or due to failure of WLAN networks, lack of backup lines and bandwidth, software issues, poor system performance, unauthorised access/ breach of security, hacking, viruses, inadequate IT support skills and any IT system failures resulting in an inability to operate business software, loss of clients, loss of revenue and reputational damages.
