Most owners can name every task on their plate. Fewer can name what happens to those tasks the day they're not there. If the honest answer is "everything waits for me," you are the continuity plan, and that's the problem. Whether the disruption is a cyberattack, an AI misstep, or you simply being unreachable for a week, it's the same gap that shows up in the first 20 minutes of a crisis, when decisions stall because no one else was ever clearly told they're allowed to make the call.

Ann Marie van den Hurk, MSc., APR, helps owners and their teams answer three questions before a crisis forces the answer: What decisions stop when you're unavailable? Who has authority? Do they actually know they have it? If those take a meeting to answer, the organization isn't ready.

Her Governance Continuity Assessment is a 90-minute working session that surfaces exactly where that gap lives, with a written finding in 48 hours.
